The uncanny of mind in a machine: Humanoid robots as tools, agents, and experiencers

作者:

Highlights:

• The uncanny valley hypothesis and the mind perception literature served as theoretical frameworks.

• Experience and agency of a humanoid robot were manipulated in four experiments.

• A robot with experience or agency elicited more eeriness than a robot without mind.

• The context of application (unspecified vs. nursing) was a significant moderator.

• The influence of the robot's gender, and participants' age was further examined.
