  • Abstract
    Against the background of the uncanny valley hypothesis [1] and its conceptual shortcomings this study aims at identifying design characteristics which determine the evaluation of robots. We conducted a web-based survey with standardized pictures of 40 robots which were evaluated by 151 participants. A cluster analysis revealed six clusters of robots. The results are discussed with regard to implications for the uncanny valley hypothesis.
