Taking a Closer Look:
Refining Trust and its Impact in HRI
HRI ' 24 - Boulder, CO
About the Workshop
With the advancement of robots and AI, researchers have pondered over human-robot coexistence as robots gradually participate in human life. However, some people still hold concerns about using or living with robots and doubt robot’s capability and reliability. To facilitate user acceptance and satisfaction of robots, understanding the impact of potential factors on user trust toward robots is crucial. This workshop aims to provide a platform for HRI researchers, practitioners, and students from diverse disciplines to engage in a discussion to define/refine the construct of trust, understand different factors that influence trust in HRI and their impacts, and measure various aspects of trust. The workshop will contribute to building a solid research community on this crucial construct and guiding future research and development of better human-robot interaction.

Keynote Speaker
Associate Professor Dr. Jessie Yang from the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan will speak on her work with trust in human-robot interaction!
In this workshop, we will...
Step 1
Present on Perspectives
Share perspectives on trust in Human-Robot Interaction through short presentations
Step 2
Collaborate on Designs
Engage in hands-on activities using materials provided to discuss design and application factors to enhance trust in robotic systems
Step 3
Showcase Design Proposals
Present design outcomes, showcasing proposed enhancements for trust in robotic systems
Step 4
Plan for the Future
Discuss potential future activities (i.e., a journal special issue or organization of the next workshop)
Venue Information
This workshop will be held at the University of Colorado Boulder University Memorial Center.

CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite authors to submit their contributions as 1-3 page position papers, excluding references, in the HRI 2024 extended abstract format by the end of February 2, 2024 (AOE). Position papers must describe one or more theoretical approaches to trust in HRI. Depending on the number of position papers accepted, participants will be invited to prepare a short talk or poster to present at the workshop. We will also allow passive participants who will attend the workshop without an accepted position paper.
All submissions should be made as a .pdf file following the general ACM SIG format (“sigconf”, double column format) and not the SIGCHI format. Templates can be found here or on Overleaf directly. Submissions are not required to be anonymized.
Position papers are to be submitted via Email at hri2024trust@gmail.com.
Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
1) Trust as a complicated construct
Trust as a State vs. Trait (attitude)
Cognitive trust vs. affective trust
Trust as a dynamic status (trust calibration)
Artificial trust (AI/robot trust in humans)
2) Factors that influence trust
Human-related factors: emotions, personality, attitude (TAM), interaction types
Robot-related factors: interfaces, appearance/form factors, expressions, movements (distance/proxemics, speed), personal space, performance, reliability
Contextual factors: task types, hierarchy, contexts.
3) Measuring trust
Subjective, behavioral, and neurophysiological metrics
Dynamic measure of trust as a function of time/interaction
Building an open-source dataset
