This paper proposes a person's communication model named Cooperative Communication Model to develop a robot's utterance generation mechanism. In a conversation between people, even though speaking voice is not clear for a hearer, he/she can obtain information form the utterance, reffering to the context of the conversation or situations around him/her. Cooperative Communication Model argues that such a person's faculty of speech understanding is based on the relationship between a speaker and a hearer. This paper has also developed a robot system depending on Cooperative Communication Model to conduct a psychological experiment on the model. The robot system employed a personal CG agent to develop a relationship between a person and a robot to investigate the effect of the developed relationship on the communication between them. The experimental results indicated the validity of Cooperative Communication Model and the significance of a human-robot interface that develops a relationship between the person and the robot to make the person notice robot's intention or situations around it.
