[edit] Proper citation of Mori's original work

Does the reference here to 1978 and the Uncanny Valley work apply to "Robots: Fact, Fiction, and Prediction" by Jasia Reichardt (1978), page 26-27? Unfortunately it is not made clear in this book what the orginal source is.

Despite many citations, "The Buddha in the Robot" contains no mention at all of the uncanny valley - I've read it all!

However, I understand that the original article was writen in Japanese and the proper citation is:

M. Mori, Bukimi no tani (the uncanny valley), Energy, Vol. 7, pp. 33–35, 1970.

This is given by Hiroshi Ishiguro, "Android Science - Toward a new cross-interdisciplinary framework" [1]

I feel that this and the Uncanny Valley article ought to try to resolve this confusion.

There is no evidence that Mori conducted any experiments himself.
