Proposal for a Special Session at IEEE RO-MAN 2023
Designing trustworthy human agent interaction in dynamic context
Aim and Scope of the Special Session
Trustworthy human-robot relationship is one of the requirements to realize the well-being of humansociety in the near future. Traditional trust engineering in HRI has dealt with only adequate humanunderstanding of a robot without considering contexts (e.g., social relationships, a task, and the purpose ofa human and a robot). Context provides a significant influence on trustworthy relationships in HRI, andsharing context between humans and robots is an important issue. However, it is not clear how to describe
a context in interaction and how it contributes to trust building because context changes dynamicallydepending on how parties interact. This special session solicits a wide range of research related to, or evenslightly related to, how to establish and maintain long-term trust between humans and robots in a dynamiccontext. The special session's theme of discussing the issues related to trust and interaction context
contributes to this year's RO-MAN conference and the participants by providing deep insights into the ROMAN theme "Design a New Bridge for H-R-I," which is why we propose this special session.
