The uncanny valley of eeriness

ACM SIGGRAPH 2007 panels, 2007
In 1970, an eminent Japanese roboticist, Masahiro Mori, proposed the "uncanny valley" curve to describe the emotional response of humans to nonhuman agents. At the core of his proposal is the idea that as an agent is made more humanlike, the observer's familiarity does not linearly increase as one would intuit, but falls into a "valley of eeriness ...

Uncanny valley revisited

ROMAN 2005. IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2005., 2006
The 'uncanny valley"'was conceived in 1970 by Prof Masahiro Mori and details a possible relationship between an object's appearance or motion and how people perceive the object. Initially this research was used without validation. Modern technology has enabled initial investigations, summarised here, that conclude further work is required.

Overcoming the Uncanny Valley

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2008
What makes some near-human characters scary while others are merely laughable? More important, why do some human and humanlike characters fail to arouse our sympathy? Visual artists and roboticists face these questions as they seek to alternately frighten and endear.

A Philosophical Look at the Uncanny Valley

2014
In this work, we describe the key points of a project concerning the philosophical analysis of the uncanny valley phenomenon. We consider the uncanny effect as a specific case of recognition failure. In particular, we suggest that the emotion of disgust, broadly construed, may have an important role to play in our understanding of the uncanny ...

The Uncanny Valley [From the Field]

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2012
More than 40 years ago, Masahiro Mori, a robotics professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, wrote an essay [1] on how he envisioned people's reactions to robots that looked and acted almost like a human. In particular, he hypothesized that a person's response to a humanlike robot would abruptly shift from empathy to revulsion as it approached ...
