As robots enter everyday spaces like offices, the sounds they create affecthow they are perceived. We present "Music Mode", a novel mapping between arobot's joint motions and sounds, programmed by artists and engineers to makethe robot generate music as it moves. Two experiments were designed tocharacterize the effect of this musical augmentation on human users. In thefirst experiment, a robot performed three tasks while playing three differentsound mappings. Results showed that participants observing the robot perceivedit as more safe, animate, intelligent, anthropomorphic, and likable whenplaying the Music Mode Orchestral software. To test whether the results of thefirst experiment were due to the Music Mode algorithm, rather than music alone,we conducted a second experiment. Here the robot performed the same threetasks, while a participant observed via video, but the Orchestral music waseither linked to its movement or random. Participants rated the robots as moreintelligent when the music was linked to the movement. Robots using Music Modelogged approximately two hundred hours of operation while navigating, wipingtables, and sorting trash, and bystander comments made during this operatingtime served as an embedded case study. The contributions are: (1) aninterdisciplinary choreographic, musical, and coding design process to developa real-world robot sound feature, (2) a technical implementation formovement-based sound generation, and (3) two experiments and an embedded casestudy of robots running this feature during daily work activities that resultedin increased likeability and perceived intelligence of the robot.
