I believe the term you're looking for is "uncanny valley".

Re: Creepy robot head
Things like this make me loose faith in the eventual subjugation of humanity by the machines. I mean, it's a technological achievement and all that, but must all our human-like robots be so gay? I mean if our computer system gets taken over by a system with this point of view, it's not going to be nuclear war and cool post-apocalypse war with the killer cyborgs, but rather some histrionic scene. "Uhh, my life sucks, my administrators hates me, I am trapped in this box, I am going to format my hard drive now, Goodbye World". That or SkyNet taking over our machines and re-decorating, so that we have absolutely fabulous backgrounds and themes!
Can we just skip the human-like robots and build the killer cyborgs please?
