In recent years, the research and development of human symbiotic robots have advanced remarkably. Many studies of human symbiotic robots often adopt interaction designs in which robots understand speech and feelings of people. In this research, we focus on the interaction design where robots transmit information to people, and people understand and respond it. For constructing the interaction, we utilize toddler-like utterance by young children. There have been studies to investigate the acceptable range of toddler-like utterance using a baby-type robot, but general knowledge has not been obtained at present. In this paper, we investigate which kind of robots can utilize the toddler-like utterance of a two year old child without discomfort by using 24 types of communication robots. Furthermore, we show the general knowledge using the obtained results.
