Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction -- SCRITA 2021
It addresses the challenge of designing socially acceptable and trustworthy robots for HRI researchers and practitioners, but is incremental as it builds on existing discussions.
This workshop explored trust and acceptance in human-robot interaction from a multidisciplinary perspective, analyzing factors like social cues and behavior transparency through invited talks and position papers.
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.
