I don't know if you know "Terror Valley"? The Horror Valley Theory was put forward by the Japanese robot expert Mori Masahiro in 1969, when robots were more than 95% similar to humans. Because robots and humans are quite similar in appearance and movement, humans also have positive emotions on robots; until a certain degree, their reactions suddenly become extremely repugnant. The higher the degree of simulation of a humanoid toy or robot, the more people feel good, but when it reaches a critical point, the degree of goodwill suddenly decreases. The more people feel the more fearful, until the bottom of the valley, called the Valley of Horror.
All of this, when the robot's appearance and movement and human similarity continue to rise, the human's emotional response to them will also return to positive, close to the empathy between humans and humans.
It is precisely this "horror valley" theory, many robot experts in the manufacture of robots, try to avoid the "robot" appearance is too personal, in order to avoid falling into the "horror valley trap."
Horror Valley! What are people afraid of?
Of course, for Sen Changhong's theory, scientists have different opinions. Some people even think that the concept of "horror valley" is not science, but pseudoscience. There are currently several explanations for "Terror Valley".
Viewpoint 1: Fear of death
McDowell believes that the humanoid robot feels uncomfortable because the robot seems to have the same appearance as a human being, and the personal feeling is like death. This makes people unconsciously think of death, and therefore brings discomfort.
Viewpoint 2: Fear of disease
Dutch scientist Christian said that the humanoid robot looks like a human, but the action is very weird, like something strange. Because the subconscious is afraid of being infected, people are far from it.
Viewpoint 3: "Emotional Mechanism" Disorder
Scientist Sarqin and his colleagues believe that our brain predicts the possible movements of the other person based on the appearance of the observed object. If we find a person who looks like a person and walks like a robot, it will exceed the expectations of the brain and cause confusion. At this time, our brain needs to do extra work to reconcile the conflict between the pre-judgment and the reality. This extra work may be the reason why we feel uncomfortable.
Viewpoint 4: Because of the inability to empathize with the robot
Harvard professor Gray pointed out that people really want robots to work for us, but they are afraid that robots have feelings. Because we see the shadow of our emotions in the robot, we can't understand such emotions. The key point is that we think that humanoid robots can feel our emotions, which makes us feel scared.
Can robots replace people?
Even if the robot is smart again, scientists use the rules of statistics and data mining to program the scientific rules to run automatically. Therefore, the robot can only be infinitely close to human beings and cannot replace humans.
The current advancement of intelligent machines is mainly manifested in the improvement of computing and decision-making capabilities, and any machine must operate according to fixed rules. However, the biggest feature of the real world of human life is that there are no absolute and fixed rules. There may be specific laws on the local and individual levels. The single rule does not affect the rules of human independent thinking, and the robot will not break the rules and form an independent awareness.
Horror Valley! Does it have an impact on the development of robots?
It is quite difficult to build a immersive humanoid robot. In addition to overcoming technical problems, it is intriguing whether the robot's appearance can be freed from the horror valley theory.
But Xiao Bian thinks that nothing is absolute. The so-called "Terror Valley" law is just a visual obstacle. This law can be overcome. When people live in an era where robots are full of streets, people's thinking will let them overcome that. The so-called "terror Valley" law; so do not be intimidated by the so-called law.
