    Default The "Uncanny Valley" moment for me / Robot!

    Seriously: this is the first time I am kind of spooked by a robot.... Imagine an operator issuing the command: "stomp him!"

    too loud, too big/clumsy, not detailed enough in navigation, takes too long to respond... however, it's a fantastic start... very interesting.

    Amazing what they have engineered so far. Although the 'Uncanny Valley' only applies to Human-like robots, who don't quite look 'correct'.

    I am surrounded by donkeys at work... ergo, the uncanny valley!

    Seriously: Thanks for the info, I stand corrected.
