Abstract

In this paper, we will present a Human Robot
Interaction (HRI) pilot study, that investigates the question,
which impact the location of speech production has on a simple
gesture interpretation game with the iCub robot. Participants
where asked to communicate about different objects on a table
by using a pointing gesture. As a feedback the robot would
produce sentences confirming the object selected by the human.
Using the Godspeed questionnaire we found that the robot has
a higher likability, the animation is preferred and there are
differences in the behaviour of the participants between the
two speech conditions.
