Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce the call for submissions for our workshop,
"TRUST: Building Trust in Human-Robot Interaction."The workshop is the
joint work of SCRITAand RTSS workshops.

The TRUST workshop will be held as a full-day event at ROMAN 2025 on
August 29, 2025, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Please find below the call for paper! Do not hesitate to contact us for
more info.

We look forward to seeing you in Eindhoven!

best regards

Alessandra

Call for contributions and submission format

We invite authors to submit position papers and four-page papers:

We invite authors to submit four pages long (excluding references),
discussing novel worksin the scope of the workshop.
We invite authors to submit position papers,2 to 4 pages long
(excluding references), discussing their prior experience and new
developments in the scope of the workshop to feed into the group and
the following panel discussions.

We encourage the authors to present a video or demonstrate their works
and achievements. All accepted papers will have short oral presentations.

Aim and scope

The TRUST workshop is the result of a collaboration between two
established workshops in the field of Human-Robot Interaction: SCRITA
(Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction)and RTSS
(Robot Trust for Symbiotic Societies).This joint initiative brings
together the complementary goals of these workshops to advance research
on trust from both the human and robot perspectives.

TheRTSS componentaddresses a critical challenge in the development of
future human-robot symbiotic societies: enabling robots to form
trustworthy interactions with both human and robotic partners. 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.

On the other hand, SCRITA focuseson people’s trust and acceptance of
robots in a wide range of social and collaborative contexts. 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.

The TRUST workshop thus provides a unique forum for synthesizing these
perspectives, bringing together researchers from robotics, psychology,
AI, and HRI to explore how trust can be modelled, measured, and
maintained in complex, real-world interactions. It aims to generate
novel insights and guidelines for designing trustworthy robotic systems
capable of adapting to and thriving in diverse human environments.

Audience and topics:The workshop is open to a broad audience from
academia and industry researching social robotics, machine learning,
robot behavioural control, and user profiling. 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.
