If I hear that the voice very close to me, I surmise that the robot is also very close to me and I move out of the way. This is how it is supposed to work.
This is how my team handles it. We have one person, a drive team member, who is known for yelling out "robot". He does it at what I would call a reasonable volume, and only when there is a significant blockage in front of us where multiple people need to move at once. He is usually behind the cart, but we do have people in front just in case people don't move so we don't run into them.

Personally I feel that if someone were to come up and ask us to stop, we would, but even this past weekend no one seemed to mind one bit, and would generally move to the side and go back to their business, so I don't see much harm.

Everybody around screaming at the top of their lungs over and over again all day is another story entirely.
