SCRITA 2023: Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction

This workshop focused on identifying the challenges and dynamics between people and robots to foster short interactions and long-lasting relationships in different fields, from educational, service, collaborative, companion, care-home and medical robotics. For that, this workshop facilitated a discussion about people's trust towards robots "in the field", inviting workshop participants to contribute their past experiences and lessons learnt.

Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction -- SCRITA 2021

This workshop aimed for a deeper exploration of trust and acceptance in human-robot interaction (HRI) from a multidisciplinary perspective including robots' capabilities of sensing and perceiving other agents, the environment, and human-robot dynamics. The workshop was held online in conjunction with IEEE RO-MAN 2021 (see https://ro-man2021.org/). Three invited speakers and six position papers analysed/discussed different aspects of human-robot interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine, or recover humans' trust in robots, such as the use of social cues or behaviour transparency. The attendees of different backgrounds engaged in a dynamic conversation about the relevant challenges of effectively supporting the design and development of socially acceptable and trustable robots.
