Abstract
During this study I used the Nao-robot to show emotions, which were then classified by participants. There were two different models used to show the emotions. The first model used human body language, the second model used differently coloured LEDs to show emotions. This experiment shows that the body language is easier to recognize by human subjects than the lights, but using the lights in addition to the body language generally reaches the highest recognition rate. Therefore LEDs can be a valid addition when showing emotions with a robot.
In addition, I tested if the location of the LEDs influenced the recognition rate. I found that lights located in the eyes of the Nao-robot were significantly easier to recognize than lights located at the chest. So the location is important to consider when using lights to show emotions.
