I Am Looking for Your Mind: Pupil Dilation Predicts Individual Differences in Sensitivity to Hints of Human-Likeness in Robot Behavior [PDF]
The presence of artificial agents in our everyday lives is continuously increasing. Hence, the question of how human social cognition mechanisms are activated in interactions with artificial agents, such as humanoid robots, is frequently being asked. One

Circling Around the Uncanny Valley: Design Principles for Research Into the Relation Between Human Likeness and Eeriness [PDF]
The uncanny valley effect (UVE) is a negative emotional response experienced when encountering entities that appear almost human. Research on the UVE typically investigates individual, or collections of, near human entities but may be prone to ...

Association Between Self-Perceived General Human-Likeness During Walking and Walking Speed in Stroke Patients: A Preliminary Study [PDF]
The difference between the walking speeds of stroke patients and the general population may influence the self-perception of patients, who perceive their walk as lacking general human-likeness.

Robot Authority in Human-Robot Teaming: Effects of Human-Likeness and Physical Embodiment on Compliance [PDF]
The anticipated social capabilities of robots may allow them to serve in authority roles as part of human-machine teams. To date, it is unclear if, and to what extent, human team members will comply with requests from their robotic teammates, and how ...

The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis (Mori, 1970) predicts that perceptual difficulty distinguishing between a humanlike object (e.g., lifelike prosthetic hand, mannequin) and its human counterpart evokes negative affect.

Quantifying the Human Likeness of a Humanoid Robot [PDF]
In research of human-robot interactions, human likeness (HL) of robots is frequently used as an individual, vague parameter to describe how a robot is perceived by a human. However, such a simplification of HL is often not sufficient given the complexity and multidimensionality of human-robot interaction.

For Human-Like Models, Train on Human-Like Tasks
Bowers et al. (2022) express skepticism about deep neural networks (DNNs) as models of human vision due to DNNs’ failures to account for results from psychological research. We argue that to fairly assess DNNs, we must first train them on more human-like tasks which we hypothesize will induce more human-like behaviors and representations.

If it Looks Like a Human and Speaks Like a Human ... Dialogue and Cooperation in Human-Robot Interactions [PDF]
The paper presents the results of a behavioral experiment conducted between February 2020 and March 2021 at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan Campus in which students were matched to either a human or a humanoid robotic partner to play an iterated Prisoner's Dilemma.

To Be or Not Be Human-Like in Virtual World [PDF]
The main objective is a double one. First and foremost, it is a question of showing that foot-in-the-door as a proven behavioral influence technique in offline interactions maintains its efficiency in online interactions. It is then a question of exploring the impact of the anthropomorphism vs.

The inversion effect on the cubic humanness-uncanniness relation in humanlike agents
The uncanny valley describes the typically nonlinear relation between the esthetic appeal of artificial entities and their human likeness. The effect has been attributed to specialized (configural) processing that increases sensitivity to deviations from
