“…In the early days of social robotics, engineers tended to copy the humanoid character for robots on the assumption that humans are more willing to communicate with what looks like them or with beings close to their daily life than with objects (Duffy, 2003). This anthropomorphism of social robots was quickly abandoned as research showed that the strict resemblance between humans and robots could make their interaction problematic (MacDorman, 2019;De Graaf et al, 2015), referring for example to the concept of Uncanny Valley, introduced by Masahuro Mori in the 1970s, which describes the negative attitude of humans to very lifelike humanoids (Mori et al, 2012).…”

This paper examines three ways that robots can interface with creativity. In particular, social robots which are designed to interact with humans are examined. In the first mode, human creativity can be supported by social robots. In a second mode, social robots can be creative agents and humans serve to support robot’s productions. In the third and final mode, there is complementary action in creative work, which may be collaborative co-creation or a division of labor in creative projects. Illustrative examples are provided and key issues for further discussion are raised.

Thus, the social character of robots lies not only in their functionality but also in their integration into the social sphere of humans as recognized non-human social entities (Leite et al, 2013;Höflich & El Bayed, 2015;Magnenat-Thalmann et al 2016;Vincent et al, 2015).…”

“…The sharp dip in the graph representing the relationship of human-likeness and observer reactions is referred to as the Uncanny Valley. Although there is no clear empirical support for the hypothesis, even after decades of research, it is referenced frequently in the HRI literature (Brenton et al, 2005;Damiano & Dumouchel, 2018;MacDorman, 2019). However, the discussion surrounding the validity of the Uncanny Valley concept does direct attention to one important issue, namely that of the expectations a human-like robot raises with users.…”

Preface 2400 years ago "The King looked at it in amazement; it was striding quickly looking up and down; undoubtedly it was a man. When the craftsman pushed its cheek it sang in tune; when he clasped its hand it danced in time; it did innumerable tricks, whatever it pleased you to ask. The King thought it really was a man." (Lièzǐ, 列子, ca. 400 B.C.) 1 Today "It's a pile of aluminum and copper wire and software. I don't cheer for my laptop. But people cheer for these [robots]. And of course when it falls, we all feel terrible, 'Uh, it got hurt.' But at the end of the day … It's just a machine." (Gill Pratt, then program manager of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), discussing robots competing at the DARPA Robotics Challenge, 2015) 2 "I know it's a machine. [But] there was just something about it. It was more reliable than the other ones. … I just had some connection to it."
