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.</span></p>

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.</span><span

It aims to generate novel insights and guidelines for designing trustworthy robotic systems capable of adapting to and thriving in diverse human environments.</span></p>
