This workshop is held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2021). Both the workshop and main conference will be held virtually. The Workshop will be held on August 12th. Read below further information, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Kind regards, Alessandra Rossi on behalf of SCRITA Organising Committee Dr. Alessandra Rossi Postdoctoral researcher PRISCA research lab University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy Visiting Researcher Fellow of the Higher Education Academy Adaptive Systems Research Group University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom -------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES & INFO Deadline for Paper Submission: July 11th, 2021 Paper Acceptance Notification: July 26th, 2021 Camera Ready Paper: August 6th, 2021 Main Conference Date: August 08th - 12th, 2021 Workshop Date: August 12th, 2021 (full-day) Workshop Website: <a style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif" href="https://scrita.herts.ac.uk" target="_blank">https://scrita.herts.ac.uk</a> Twitter: @SCRITA_ROMAN Main Conference Website: htpp://<a style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif" href="http://ro-man2021.org" target="_blank">ro-man2021.org</a> TARGET AUDIENCE We intend to open the workshop to a broad audience, such as researchers and scientists from social robotics, machine learning and robot behavioural control, and user-profiling fields. 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. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: </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 dir="auto"> SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We encourage participants to submit two-page abstracts or full papers (up to 6 pages) on original and unpublished research. We will also welcome submissions of two-page position papers on topics covering the scope of the workshop. All accepted papers will have an oral presentations. We further welcome authors of the accepted papers to present a video or demonstrate their works and achievements. Video demonstrations should be accompagnied by an up to 2 pages abstract describing the work and achievements. Authors should submit their papers formatted according to the <a href="http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php" target="_blank">IEEE two-column format</a>, 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: <a href="http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/tex.php" target="_blank">LaTeX</a> or <a href="http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/word.php" target="_blank">MS-Word</a>. PDF submission will be possible via EasyChair. 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. Authors who want to include a video in their submission can indicate their plans via <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scrita2021" target="_blank">EasyChair</a> and will be sent a link to a confidentially upload the video file. At least one of the authors of the accepted papers needs to register for the workshop. 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. Authors of accepted papers will also be invited to publish their works on a pre-print archive (e.g. <a style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif" href="https://arxiv.org/covid19search" target="_blank">arXiv</a>) to increase the visibility of their work, this Workshop and the whole Conference. Authors of the accepted papers will also be invited to a SPECIAL ISSUE of the <a style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif" href="https://link.springer.com/journal/12369" target="_blank">International Journal of Social Robotics</a> (confirmed).
