    Abstract

    In our previous work we introduced functional noise as a modality for robots to communicate intent [6]. In this follow-up experiment, we replicated the first study with a robot which was taller in order to find out if the same results would apply to a tall vs. a short robot. Our results show a similar trend: a robot using functional noise is perceived more positively compared with a robot that does not.
