Background Robot industry is paid attention due to the arrival of 4-D industrial revolution. The Uncanny-Vally, extraordinary feeling about non-human objects, is the important concept for the robot industry. Using robot's faces designed by human faces, the affective estimation was performed. Based on the results, the relationship of the Uncanny-Vally concept was researched.
Methods In this study, the appearance and function of robots, with or without face features (eyes, nose, and mouth) and skin color in robot's faces were investigated. Moreover, human likeness, cuteness, and familiarity were researched by the affective estimation using adjectives with opposite meaning.
Result As a result, the similarity with human was influenced by the presence of face features (eyes, nose, and mouth) and skin colors. In addition, it showed a high correlation between the preference and aesthetics. Moreover, higher human likeness showed declining the preference
Conclusion In this study, it was confirmed that face features (eyes, nose, and mouth) and skin color should be considered in order to overcome Uncanny Valley and design robotic face images with high preference. |
