Abstract(in English)	Recent researches in robotics have been developed various communication robots which can cooperate and communicate with humans. Various actuators and sensors have been developed and enhenced the research of robot's movement and appearance for human-robot interaction. However, there are little concerned about the location of a speaker in designing the robot. Humans speak with their mouth, while many of developed robots have a loudspeaker on their breast or abdominal region. This paper has conducted an experiment to confirm whether the location of a robot's loudspeaker has a effect on the human's understanding of an utterance. The experiment results have indicated that the robot's loudspeaker mounted on the head part improves the humans understandings of the utterance rather than the one of abdominal part.
