[Alessandra Rossi]

Dear Colleagues,

This is the second call for submissions for our workshop, "TRUST: Building
Trust in Human-Robot Interaction." The workshop is the joint work of SCRITA
and RTSS workshops.

The TRUST workshop will be held as a full-day event at ROMAN 2025 on August
29, 2025, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Please find below the call for paper! Do not hesitate to contact us for
more info.

We look forward to seeing you in Eindhoven!

best regards

Alessandra

on behalf of the SCRITA and RTSS workshops organisers

Aim and scope

The TRUST workshop is the result of a collaboration between two established
workshops in the field of Human-Robot Interaction: SCRITA (Trust,
Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction) and RTSS (Robot
Trust for Symbiotic Societies). This joint initiative brings together the
complementary goals of these workshops to advance research on trust from
both the human and robot perspectives.

The RTSS component addresses a critical challenge in the development of
future human-robot symbiotic societies: enabling robots to form trustworthy
interactions with both human and robotic partners. While trust from the
human perspective has been extensively studied, RTSS emphasizes the need to
explore how autonomous agents assess and establish trust in heterogeneous
peers. It promotes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and
designing mechanisms for robot trust, with the aim of advancing
technological, social, and ethical aspects of symbiotic interaction.

On the other hand, SCRITA focuses on people’s trust and acceptance of
robots in a wide range of social and collaborative contexts. Previous SCRITA
workshops have highlighted progress in short-term and controlled
interaction studies but also emphasized the need for robust, unambiguous
metrics for evaluating human trust in more realistic and dynamic
environments. SCRITA promotes cross-disciplinary dialogue to identify key
factors affecting trust and to develop novel methodologies to measure and
foster trust in long-term human-robot relationships.

The TRUST workshop thus provides a unique forum for synthesizing these
perspectives, bringing together researchers from robotics, psychology, AI,
and HRI to explore how trust can be modelled, measured, and maintained in
complex, real-world interactions. It aims to generate novel insights and
guidelines for designing trustworthy robotic systems capable of adapting to
and thriving in diverse human environments.

Audience and topics: The workshop is 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.
