I've heard the same thing with robots giving people space. I heard about some study or another where humans working alongside robots (e.g. robotic arms in a factory) felt a lot more comfortable when robots exaggerated how much distance they put between themselves and the person to signal that they "know" the person is there and won't run into them.
