[agents] [meetings][CFP][RO-MAN 2024] Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction Workshop

[alexarossi at gmail.com]

Dear colleagues,

it is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit your works at the 
seventh edition of a successful series of workshops SCRITA.

This workshop focuses on the continuous investigation of unresolved and 
new open challenges of the factors affecting people's acceptance and 
trust in robots in short- and long-term settings.

We will invite authors to submit position papers only, discussing their 
prior experience and new developments in the scope of the workshop to 
feed into the group and the following panel discussions.

We further encourage authors of the accepted papers to present a video 
or demonstrate their works and achievements.

All accepted papers will have short oral presentations.

Please find below the full CFP, but do not hesitate to contact us for 
further information.

best regards

Alessandra

This workshop will be a half day event organised in conjunction with 
theIEEE RO-MAN 2024 <http://ro-man2024.org/>conference, held in 
Pasadena, California, USA.


This workshop focuses on the continuous investigation of unresolved and 
new open challenges of the factors affecting people's acceptance and 
trust in robots in short- and long-term settings. In particular, we want 
to look into the dynamics between people and robots to foster short 
interactions and long-lasting relationships taking inspiration from 
different domains, such as educational, service, collaborative, 
companion, care-home and medical robotics. For that, this workshop aims 
to facilitate a discussion about people’s trust towards robots “in the 
field”, inviting workshop participants to contribute their past 
experiences, lessons learnt and future issues.

During last year's workshop edition(i.e., SCRITA at RO-MAN 2023), together 
with leading researchers and exceptional speakers from various fields, 
we started working towards developing such novel methods. We outlined 
current methods and their strengths, discussing how these measures do 
not always reflect appropriately, or how some questions might be 
ambiguous and leave room for interpretation by individual participants. 
We identified five main factors affecting trust to be investigated to 
generate a new metric that allows researchers to assess and reduce 
common side effects influencing how people put their trust in robots.


    Submission & List of Topics

The workshop will be open to a broad audience from academia and industry 
researching social robotics, machine learning, robot behavioural 
control, and user profiling. In particular, we aim to integrate 
expertise from roboticists with psychologists' and sociologists’ 
insights and experiences to foster a multidisciplinary and human-focused 
discussion that can capture the multi-faceted nature of trust and 
acceptance. We will foster the exchange of views on past and ongoing 
research and contribute to the discussion of innovative ideas for 
tackling unresolved issues by providing new and inspirational directions 
for research.


We will invite authors to submit position papers only, discussing their 
prior experience and new developments in the scope of the workshop to 
feed into the group and the following panel discussions.


We further encourage authors of the accepted papers topresent a video or 
demonstratetheir works and achievements.

All accepted submissions will have an oral presentation.

    Submission Guidelines

Authors should submit their papers formatted according to theIEEE 
two-column format 
<http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php>, which is 
also used for contributions to the main conference. Use the following 
templates to create the paper and generate or export a PDF file:LaTeX 
<http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/tex.php>orMS-Word 
<http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/word.php>.


Authors needs to submit their PDF via EasyChair 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scrita2024>. Each paper will 
receive at least two reviews. All papers are reviewed using a 
single-blind review process: authors declare their names and 
affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers 
do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive 
information about who has reviewed their manuscript.
