We will be fostering the exchange of insights on past and ongoing research, and the discussion of innovative ideas for tackling unresolved issues providing new and inspirational directions of research. Although the previous editions valued the participation of leading researchers in the field and several exceptional invited speakers who identified some of the principal points in this research direction, current research still presents several limitations. For this reason, we wish to continue to further explore the role of trust in robotics to effectively design and develop socially acceptable and trustable robots.</div><div>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</div><div> <ul><li>Impact of Social Cues on Trust in Human-Robot Interaction</li><li>Measuring Trust in Human-Robot Interaction</li><li>Robot's Trust in Humans</li><li>Trust Violation and Recovery Mechanism in HRI</li><li>Effects of Humans’ Acceptance on Trust of Robots</li><li>Humans Sense of Control and Trust in Robots</li><li>Trust and Assistive Robotics</li><li>Overtrust in Robots</li><li>Antecedent of Trust and Robot Trust</li><li>Enhancing Humans Trust in Robots</li><li>Enhancing Trust in a Robot Companion</li><li>Privacy Implications on Trust in HRI</li><li>Mental Models and Trust in HRI</li><li>Trust and Safety in HRI</li><li>Ethics Implications on Trust in HRI</li><li>Trustworthy AI</li><li>XAI in HRI</li><li>Legal Frameworks for Trustworthy Robotics</li></ul><div>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES</div><div> </div><div><div>We will invite authors to submit two-page abstracts or full papers (up to 6 pages) on original and unpublished research.
