<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>it is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit your works
at the seventh edition of a successful series of workshops SCRITA.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.<br>
<br>
We further encourage authors of the accepted papers to present a
video or demonstrate their works and achievements. <br>
</p>
<p>All accepted papers will have short oral presentations. <br>
</p>
<p> Please find below the full CFP, but do not hesitate to contact
us for further information.</p>
<p>best regards</p>
<p>Alessandra<br>

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 </span><span

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</span><span

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. </span></p>
