Robot appearance affect the emotions of people who communicate with robots. In order to design a robot which people prefer or love, this study proposes to adopt "Moe (in Japanse)" as a design element. However, "Moe" is a word of ambiguous concept and it isn't simple task to utilize it for robot-appearance design. We built a 3D design system to investigate and clarify the meaning of "Moe" in previous research. As a result, we suggested a possibility that there is a difference in robot appearance designed by whether people understand "Moe" or not. In this paper, we investigate difference of designed appearance in detail.
