The uncanny valley is a psychological theory about the effect
involving art and robots and human emotions. As something starts
to look more human-like, there is a point at which people start
to feel it look wrong. At this point they have bad feelings
toward the object. These feelings keep getting worse as the
object is made to look more human-like. At a certain point, as
the object starts to get very close to looking human-like,
peoples feelings towards it tend to reverse and they have better
emotional feelings towards it. The theory was created by the
robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970. One of the main points
of the theory to explain this is that people are not as affected
in an emotional way by the object if it is easy to tell it is
not human. After a certain point, people start to feel
emotionally about it, but feel bad emotions because it is so
nonhuman. As it gets closer to looking human, they start to feel
more positive emotions towards it. A graph of these feeling
shows a valley. This is part of
