Answer: The uncanny valley - the graph shows the likability of robots/automatons as a function of their resemblance to humans. As they approach too close to us for comfort, their likability suddenly dips in the region that has been termed the uncanny valley. Ameya, White Jack and Black Lagoon, Karthik, Vetti, AJ, Jaggi, Raghu, nice try, Krithi and Sreekanth got it. Well done.

Uncanny Valley: The uncanny valley is a hypothesis regarding the field of robotics.[1] The theory holds that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers. The "valley" in question is a dip in a proposed graph of the positivity of human reaction as a function of a robot's lifelikeness.(Wikipedia)
