This workshop focuses on investigating users' trust in robots. Although the previous editions had the pleasure to welcome the participation of leading researchers in the field, and several exceptional invited speakers, who identified some principal points in this research direction, current research still presents several limitations. For this reason, we continue to further explore the role of trust in social robotics to effectively support the design and development of socially acceptable and trustable service robots. In this context, a deeper exploration of trust in HRI approached from a multidisciplinary perspective (from AI to Psychology, passing through Ethics and Law) is required. Therefore, this workshop will analyse the different aspects of human-robot interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine, or recover humans' trust in robots, such as the use of social cues, behaviour transparency (goals and actions), etc.</span></span></p><p style="margin:0px 0pt 12px 10pt;max-width:650pt;line-height:1.4;font-size:11pt;padding-bottom:5pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">As the previous workshops were followed by special issues in <a href="https://benjamins.com/catalog/is.20.3">Interaction Studies</a> and the <a href="http://scrita.herts.ac.uk/2019/specialissue.html">International Journal of Social Robotics</a>, we again aim for a special issue in a relevant journal that is based on the current workshop iteration.</span></span></p><h2 style="margin:7pt 0px 6pt;font-weight:normal;font-size:16pt;border:1px solid rgb(0,114,161);background-color:rgb(0,114,161);color:rgb(255,255,255);padding:4pt 0pt 6pt 20pt;font-family:verdana,sans-serif;border-radius:4px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none">List of Topics</h2><p style="margin:0px 0pt 12px 10pt;max-width:650pt;line-height:1.4;font-size:11pt;padding-bottom:5pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We are seeking papers covering all the different aspects of Human-Robot Interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine and recovery of humans' trust and acceptance in robots.
