Two uncanny valleys: Re-evaluating the uncanny valley across the full spectrum of real-world human-like robots

作者:

Highlights:

• We examined the existence of the uncanny valley with 251 real-world robots.

• We found two uncanny valleys for high and moderately low human-like robots.

• Unique combinations of perceptual mismatch in human-likeness explained the valleys.

• The specific patterns of the valleys differed for positive and negative responses.

• The word uncanny did not appear to be a reliable measure of the uncanny valley.
