It is envisioned that robots assist in households, soon. Those service robots will have to cope with several situations and tasks and of course with sophisticated human-robot interaction (HRI). Therefore, a robot should not only consider social rules with respect to proxemics, it should detect in which (interaction) situation it is in and act accordingly. With respect to spatial HRI, our goal is to use non-verbal communication, namely implicit body and machine movements to make interaction simpler and smoother. A first study aims to acquire a concept of spatial prompting by a human and by the robot in a "passing by" scenario. The results will be used to enrich the existing system with an appropriate passing behaviour and to distinguish between passage situations and others.
