The Pursuit of Lifelike Machines

Modern robotics seeks to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and social engagement. As systems move into domestic spaces, the field of interaction focuses on making machines approachable and intuitive. Engineers often replicate human characteristics to foster familiarity. However, Masahiro Mori identified a psychological phenomenon where an increase in a robot's likeness initially improves rapport but eventually causes a sharp decline in comfort. This dip occurs when a machine looks nearly perfect but lacks the fluid nuances of living beings, leading to a profound sense of unease.
