In this report, we measured the distance between the human and the robot and the loudness of the movement sound during the dialogue in order to quantitatively analyze the effect of the robot's activity on the human's concentration. In the experiments, it was assumed that humans were basically stationary and engaged in dialogue, and the distance was measured while subjects perform two types of tasks that compose the dialogue. The significance of the result was verified by t-test. As a result, it was confirmed that the main factors that hinder human concentration due to the movement of the robot are due to hearing, and that the dialogue does not depend on the state of the dialogue, such as speaking or listening. From the measurement results, the approximate function used to calculate the size of the formation space was calculated.
