虽然机器人经常用于自闭症治疗，但恐怖谷效应从未在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者身上进行过研究。由于自闭症患者在理解肢体语言方面有困难，他们对恐怖谷的反应也不同。在本文中，我们建议研究自闭症患者和非自闭症患者对情感类人机器人的恐怖谷感知可能存在的差异。34名成年参与者（N = 34，对照组：19，ASD: 15，年龄：28.5）被要求观看一个情感类人机器人的视频，并对其情绪和步态（感知人性、怪异和吸引力）进行评分。我们发现两组人对机器人感知人性的感知存在差异（p <; 0.05）。此外，虽然ASD组在情绪识别任务中的表现与对照组一样好，但我们发现ASD组比对照组对恐怖谷效应更敏感。最后，我们总结了我们的发现给人机交互领域带来的影响。
While robots are often used in autism therapy, the Uncanny valley effect was never studied in subjects with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Since persons with ASD have trouble understanding body language, they react differently to the Uncanny valley. In this paper, we propose to investigate the possible difference in the Uncanny valley's perception of an emotional humanoid robot in subjects with ASD and subjects without ASD. Thirty four adult participants (N = 34, control: 19, ASD: 15; age: 28.5) were asked to watch videos of an emotional humanoid robot and rate its emotions and its gait (Perceived Humanness, Eeriness and Attractiveness). We have found differences between the two groups in their perception of the robot's Perceived Humanness (p <;.05). Also, while the ASD group performed as well as the control group for emotion recognition task, we found that the ASD group is more sensible to the Uncanny valley effects than the control group. Finally we conclude on what our findings bring to the Human Robot Interaction field.
