    Abstract: Service robots that possess social interactive capabilities are vital to cater to the demand in emerging domains of robotic applications. A service robot frequently needs to interact with users when performing service tasks. The comfortability of users depends on the human-robot proxemics during these interactions. Hence, a service robot should be capable of maintaining proper proxemics that improves the comfort of users. The proxemics preferences of users might depend on diverse attributes of a robot, such as emotional state, noise level, and physical appearance. Therefore, it is vital to gain a better understanding of a robot's attributes which influence human-robot proxemics behavior. This paper contributes to an exploratory study to analyze the effects on human-robot proxemics preferences due to a robot's attributes; facial and vocal emotions, level of internal noises, and the physical appearance. Four sub-studies have been conducted to gather the required human-robot proxemics data. The gathered data have been analyzed through statistical tests. The test statistics reveal that facial and vocal emotions, internal noise level, and the physical appearance of a robot have significant effects on proxemics preferences of humans. The outcomes of this exploratory study would be useful in designing and developing human-robot proxemics strategies of a service robot that would enhance social interaction.
