This paper proposes that music is useful for communication between mobile robots to transfer data and to inform the status of the robots to the neighboring human. Suppose that multiple mobile robot and human work together. When radio is not allowed as communication medium, sound could be employed. But sound could annoy human as noise. Then music should be composed. Music has some advantages like that it can directly transmit emotion to human without any PDA terminal. Thus, we try to make musical communication system among mobile robots by music composition technique with both communication data and status of the robots.
