How does a robot's social credibility relate to its perceived trustworthiness?
It addresses the problem of human-robot interaction for researchers, but is incremental as it reviews and expands existing concepts without new empirical results.
This position paper explores the relationship between a robot's social credibility and its perceived trustworthiness, proposing an expansion of social credibility to include conscious acknowledgement of social norms.
This position paper aims to highlight and discuss the role of a robot's social credibility in interaction with humans. In particular, I want to explore a potential relation between social credibility and a robot's acceptability and ultimately its trustworthiness. I thereby also review and expand the notion of social credibility as a measure of how well the robot obeys social norms during interaction with the concept of conscious acknowledgement.
