Do teleoperated androids take tele-embodiment too far?

Maretta Morovitz Tufts University 200 Boston Avenue Medford, MA 02155 USA maretta.morovitz@tufts.edu Abstract We explore the theoretical motivations for and empirically-assessed perceptions of teleoperated androids for telepresence. In particular, we consider the affordances of their physical embodiment, as well as the adverse effects (owing to the uncanny valley) of such highly humanlike robots. Via analysis of several exemplars, we conclude with a few implications regarding the design of anthropomorphic embodied proxies for telepresence.
