Speech Synthesis and Uncanny Valley
The paper discusses a hypothesis relating high quality textto-speech (TTS) synthesis in spoken dialogue systems with the concept of “uncanny valley”. It introduces a “Wizard-of-Oz” experiment with 30 volunteers engaged in conversations with two synthetic voices of different naturalness. The results of the experiment are summarized and interpreted, leading to the conclusion that the TTS uncanny ...
متن کاملOphidian and the Uncanny Valley
Physical modelling is one of the most flexible and exciting of recent developments in software synthesis. New developments in synthesis methods are often accompanied by the emergence of new paradigms for the organisation of sound in composition. Here connections are drawn between Dr Masahiro Mori’s concept of the ‘Uncanny Valley’ and tension and relaxation structures in timbrally varied musical...

Although robotics researchers commonly contend that robots should not look too humanlike, many artforms have successfully depicted people and have come to be accepted as great and important works, with examples such as Rodin’s Thinker, Mary Cassat’s infants, and Disney’s Abe Lincoln simulacrum. Extending this tradition to intelligent robotics, the authors have depicted late sci-fi writer Philip...
متن کاملThe Uncanny Valley
More than 40 years ago, Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori (1970/2005) proposed the “uncanny valley” hypothesis, which predicted a nonlinear relation between robots’ perceived human likeness and their likability. Although some studies have corroborated this hypothesis and proposed explanations for its existence, the evidence on both fronts has been mixed and open to debate. We first review the l...

Over the last decade, research has been conducted on the potential of androids to evoke uncanny sensations in humans (the so-called uncanny valley phenomenon): Experiments focussing on robot appearance have shown that static images of androids can avoid uncanniness if they are designed to be aesthetically pleasing. However, the appeal of such androids may only be achieved at the expense of phys...
