When the 'BigDog' regains it's balance after being kicked, that was a little disturbing. I felt we always had an advantage over robots being much more nimble and steady on our feet, but it seems robotics is quickly catching up with biology. But I suppose that was inevitable. ]]> I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=240497#Comment_240497 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=240497#Comment_240497 Mon, 24 May 2010 16:04:46 -0700 Argos I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241710#Comment_241710 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241710#Comment_241710 Mon, 31 May 2010 06:14:50 -0700 Finagle
The Big Dog looks like it is expending effort, that it is purposeful and trying to recover itself. This gives the impression that it is self-directed, like us. It is the Little Engine that Could, without the anthropomorphic face. That's both sympathetic and creepy at once. ]]> I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241711#Comment_241711 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241711#Comment_241711 Mon, 31 May 2010 06:28:40 -0700 Paul Duffield I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241713#Comment_241713 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241713#Comment_241713 Mon, 31 May 2010 06:55:37 -0700 Fauxhammer I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241720#Comment_241720 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241720#Comment_241720 Mon, 31 May 2010 08:09:13 -0700 Val A Lindsay II
There's an ongoing study on the emotional reaction to such things as computer generated characters and androids. He writes...

Masahiro Mori proposed a relation between human likeness and shinwakan, which may be roughly translated as rapport or comfort level: more human-looking robots are perceived as more agreeable until we get to robots that look so nearly human that subtle flaws make them look creepy. This dip in their evaluation is the uncanny valley. The valley, Mori argued, would be deepened by movement. The term uncanny valley is now commonly applied to animated characters in films and video games.




I definitely had a reaction to the kick-down also, likening it animal abuse. This sort of explained it for me. ]]> I want a creepy/cute robot dog like this one http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241723#Comment_241723 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8289&Focus=241723#Comment_241723 Mon, 31 May 2010 08:32:36 -0700 Rootfireember BigDog is something I find creepy but the Little one's sorta cute.
