Could Japanese puppet theatre inspire relatable robots? Drawing on Chikamatsu’s conceptual realism, this paper explores Mori’s uncanny valley, suggesting narrative and stylized expression enhance artificial agents’ emotional resonance. doi.org/10.1177/204166…
近松門左衛門はリアリズムを四分類し、概念的リアリズムが共感を生むとした。森政弘もロボットの親しみやすさを四分類し、ヒューマノイドが最適とした。不気味の谷を避ける擬人化の原則が、両者の考察から導かれる。 doi.org/10.1177/204166…
In #Japan, #robotics projects like Geminoid exhibit a fascination with creating human doubles. The ‘uncanny valley’ has guided robot engineers on the limits of human likeness, yielding design principles to mitigate the risk of creepy robots bit.ly/4hr3wiA @androidscience

The ‘uncanny valley’ has guided robot engineers on the limits of human likeness, yielding design principles to mitigate the risk of creepy robots. Yet unease with advancements in AI has exposed a new ‘uncanny valley of mind’. nature.com/articles/s4428…
