Perceptual discrimination difficulty and familiarity in the Uncanny Valley: More like a ‘Happy Valley’.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The Uncanny Valley Hypothesis (UVH) predicts that enhanced difficulty perceptually discriminating between categorically ambiguous human and humanlike characters (e.g., highly realistic robot) evokes negatively valenced (i.e., uncanny) experience.

Human- or object-like? Cognitive anthropomorphism of humanoid robots

PLoS ONE, 2022
Across three experiments (N = 302), we explored whether people cognitively elaborate humanoid robots as human- or object-like. In doing so, we relied on the inversion paradigm, which is an experimental procedure extensively used by cognitive research to ...

The Effects of Perceived Competence, Predictability, and Context of Interaction on Perceived Human-Likeness and Human-AI Interactions [PDF]

, 2020
As robots and AI are designed for social interactions and incorporated into the world, it is important to examine the extent to which humans can perceive such artificial agents as humanlike based solely on the observation of their behaviors.

There’s More to Humanity Than Meets the Eye: Differences in Gaze Behavior Toward Women and Gynoid Robots

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Based on evolutionary psychological theories, numerous eye-tracking studies have demonstrated how people visually perceive a potential mate in order to efficiently estimate the person’s mate value.

Category processing and the human likeness dimension of the Uncanny Valley Hypothesis: Eye-tracking data

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
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.

Is erring (only) human? A review of experimental evidence on how human likeness in failures affects sensorimotor signaling, intentionality attribution, and social inclusion of the iCub robot

, 2023
When performing shared tasks with robots, expectations about potential failures play a crucial role and they can impact critical aspects of our performance. Here we provide an overview of our previous studies showing that human-likeness in the content of

The Human Takes It All: Humanlike Synthesized Voices Are Perceived as Less Eerie and More Likable. Evidence From a Subjective Ratings Study

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2020
Background: The increasing involvement of social robots in human lives raises the question as to how humans perceive social robots. Little is known about human perception of synthesized voices.Aim: To investigate which synthesized voice parameters ...
