The Qualitative Explanation for the Effects of Eye's Feature of Humanlike Agent towards Human Emotion

Abstract

Designing the agents extraordinarily humanlike sometimes makes humans elicit a negative feeling against it. It is well known as the uncanny valley. We proposed the model generating how the feeling occurs based on human brain function related to emotions. However, the model was defective in its emotional information processing for the inputs, the features of the agents' eye. In this study we propose the advanced model to express the human information processing toward them. The results of simulation indicated that a little detection of abnormality of the eye in the early but imprecise information processing caused the agent to be low-evaluated, and that agent should be negatively evaluated if human kept on gazing at an abnormality point.
