Masahiro Mori (roboticist)
was a Japanese roboticist noted for his pioneering work in the fields of robotics and automation, his research achievements in humans' emotional responses to non-human entities, as well as for his views on religion. The ASIMO robot was designed by one of Masahiro's students. Life and career In 1970, Mori published "Bukimi No Tani" (不気味の谷 ''The Uncanny Valley'') in ''Energy''. The article forwarded the hypothesis that as robots become more humanlike, they appear more familiar until a point is reached at which subtle imperfections of appearance make them look eerie. The observation led Mori to the belief that robot builders should not attempt to make their creations overly lifelike in appearance and motion. In 1974, Mori published ''The Buddha in the Robot: a Robot Engineer's Thoughts on Science and Religion'' in which he discussed the metaphysical implications of robotics. In the book, he wrote "I believe robots have the buddha-nature In Buddhist philosophy and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kano Model
The Kano model is a theory for product development and customer satisfaction developed in the 1980s by Noriaki Kano. This model provides a framework for understanding how different features of a product or service impact customer satisfaction, allowing organizations to prioritize development efforts effectively. According to the Kano Model, customer preferences are classified into five distinct categories, each representing different levels of influence on satisfaction. Categories These categories have been translated into English using various names (delighters/exciters, satisfiers, dissatisfiers, etc.), but all refer to the original articles written by Kano. Must-be Quality These are the requirements that the customers expect and are taken for granted. When done well, customers are just neutral, but when done poorly, customers are very dissatisfied. Kano originally called these "Must-be’s" because they are the requirements that must be included and are the price of entry ...
