Tesla launched a humanoid robot, how far is the uncanny valley effect from us? Its shape is also modeled on the human body, with feet, hands and head, and it can walk upright. So it's also called a humanoid robot. So what is the "uncanny valley effect"? This effect was first proposed by a Japanese robot engineer named Masahiro Mori. This graph is a good illustration of the uncanny valley effect. So how did the uncanny valley effect come about? However, Elon Musk also once raised a concern, what if the robot has self-awareness?

Elon Musk always brings unexpected products. At an event called "Tesla AI Day", at the end of the event, Musk suddenly announced that Tesla was about to launch a humanoid robot called Tesla Bot.
Tesla launched a humanoid robot, how far is the uncanny valley effect from us? Its shape is also modeled on the human body, with feet, hands and head, and it can walk upright. So it's also called a humanoid robot. So what is the "uncanny valley effect"? This effect was first proposed by a Japanese robot engineer named Masahiro Mori. This graph is a good illustration of the uncanny valley effect. So how did the uncanny valley effect come about? However, Elon Musk also once raised a concern, what if the robot has self-awareness?
This robot is 1 meter 72 tall, weighs 57 kilograms, can lift 20 kilograms of heavy objects, and walks at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour.
Such data is basically similar to that of an adult.

Maybe in the near future, scenes from sci-fi movies will really become a reality. There will be many robots in our lives that look exactly like humans, and they will help us do a lot of dangerous and boring work.

Sounds great, but if you're really in that environment, it probably doesn't feel good. Because that means the "uncanny valley effect" is about to take shape.

Look at 2 photos first, which one do you think is more scary?

Yes, most people will find the doll toy below more scary. In fact, similar props and scenes are also used in many horror movies to increase the horror atmosphere of the film. This is actually the "uncanny valley effect".

When the shape and movement of the robot are similar to those of humans, humans will have a loving feeling for the robot. The higher the similarity, the higher the degree of liking. But when this similarity reaches a peak, when people are close to being unable to tell whether a robot is real or false, love suddenly turns to disgust and fear.

For example, when you see a robot delivery man in a restaurant, you will feel very interesting.
But imagine if you go to the wax museum alone and see those lifelike wax figures, if the surrounding environment is quieter and the lights are dim, will you be a little afraid?

Psychologists have done a lot of research on this and come up with a lot of theories. One of the more mainstream theories is that robots that are not "anthropomorphic" enough will be subconsciously classified into machines.
But when robots are similar enough to humans, we classify them as humans. At this point, the depersonalized characteristics of the robot will become obvious, thus giving people a grotesque and terrifying feeling.
The introduction of Tesla's humanoid robot means that the emergence of robots with high human simulation will no longer be a science fiction story.
Perhaps by then, humans will find a way to overcome the uncanny valley effect and make humanoid robots a part of our lives. It can work for us, and it can even socialize and fall in love with humans.
As described in Blade Runner, the male protagonist has an unforgettable love affair with a light and shadow robot.

Will they still be willing to work for humanity then? If they rebel against human domination, with the computing power and physical strength of robots, will humans be their opponents?
This day may still be far into the future, but the robot uncanny valley effect seems to be getting closer and closer to us.
