abstract = "User Confusion leads to misunderstandings about the robot or the situation, and influences customer satisfaction. This study evaluates users{\textquoteright} understanding of commercially available robot statuses presented by LED indicators. Images and videos of indicators of nine robots were taken from manufacturers{\textquoteright} websites and were manipulated to assess how specific visual qualities of indicators, color, and animation, affect users. One hundred and forty-seven respondents participated in an online study. They were asked to: 1) select the animation that best fits a given status description, 2) rank the compatibility between an indicator and a written status description, and 3) select the status description that best fits a given animation. Results indicated that, in most cases, the manufacturers{\textquoteright} intention was not well understood by respondents. Understandability was affected by the indicator{\textquoteright}s visual qualities and status prevalence. Recommendations and gaps are detailed.",
