Abstract [en]

Sound can benefit human-robot interaction, but little work has explored questions on the design of nonverbal sound for robots. The unique confluence of sound design and robotics expertise complicates these questions, as most roboticists do not have sound design expertise, necessitating collaborations with sound designers. We sought to understand how roboticists and sound designers approach the problem of robot sound design through two qualitative studies. The first study followed discussions by robotics researchers in focus groups, where these experts described motivations to add robot sound for various purposes. The second study guided music technology students through a generative activity for robot sound design; these sound designers in-training demonstrated high variability in design intent, processes, and inspiration. To unify the two perspectives, we structured recommendations through the design thinking framework, a popular design process. The insights provided in this work may aid roboticists in implementing helpful sounds in their robots, encourage sound designers to enter into collaborations on robot sound, and give key tips and warnings to both.
