Abstract
This paper investigates reliability of information communicating between humans and robots for constructing a robot system spreading a rumor. In recent years, development of robots is active and accordingly the chance to meet the robots increases in the public space. However, it is expected that there is the difference between the reliability of information from humans and robots. We carried out experiments to investigate this problem. As a result, the reliability of information from robots is higher than that from humans. The results of the experiments give a helpful suggestion to design a social robot.
