The research area of ADVISOR is developed as part of the funding Italian PRIN PNRR. The researcher will focus on the following topics: The focus of the project is to tackle the lack of user trust in robots, starting from the need for personalised coaching for healthy behaviours, to ensure that diverse populations and individuals’ specific needs and preferences are respected. We aim to investigate how to deploy trustworthy and transparent robot behaviours in this context, and move towards creating a technology that can be easily and successfully adopted by its intended users. We do so by tackling two main issues. The first is advancing research toward developing autonomous, and yet trustworthy robots that can operate in close contact with humans. This will let us clearly identify the functionalities needed to have SAR to be deployed in healthcare. The second is making the robot’s behaviours transparent to the users while being adaptive. Finally, the integration of different social, emotional, and cognitive aspects and the implementation of a set of behavioural and verbal skills will allow us to have a first evaluation of the level of mutual understanding required for a trustworthy interaction. Requirements: A Ph.D. is preferred, or master degree or equivalent in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science or Engineering with a focus on Intelligent Systems, Intelligent Robotics, Machine Learning and Human-Robot Interaction is required. Excellent programming skills (Python, C++, Machine Learning Frameworks, ROS etc.) are needed. Excellent English communication skills are an important requirement. Preferred Qualifications: collecting and analysing data, conducting literature reviews and scientific track record, writing up academic publications; strong interpersonal skills; great teammate; interest and capability to communicate, written and verbal, with peers, students and collaborators unfamiliar with behavioural science. Application: Send your complete application documents to silvia.rossi(a)unina.it : - A 2-page motivation letter including a description of previous research experience (1page) and current research interest, outlining the fit to the desired position (1 page), - A full curriculum vitae with details about where you resided or carried out your main activity [work, studies, etc.], - Copies of degree certificate[s], including transcripts of grades obtained for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

[meetings][CFP][RO-MAN 2024] Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction Workshop
by alexarossi＠gmail.com 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Dear colleagues, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to submit your works at the seventh edition of a successful series of workshops SCRITA. This workshop focuses on the continuous investigation of unresolved and new open challenges of the factors affecting people's acceptance and trust in robots in short- and long-term settings. We will invite authors to submit position papers only, discussing their prior experience and new developments in the scope of the workshop to feed into the group and the following panel discussions. We further encourage authors of the accepted papers to present a video or demonstrate their works and achievements. All accepted papers will have short oral presentations. Please find below the full CFP, but do not hesitate to contact us for further information. best regards Alessandra -- Alessandra Rossi, PhD Assistant Professor Fellow of the Higher Education Academy Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies - D.I.E.T.I. University of Naples Federico II Via Claudio, 21, 80125 - Naples, Italy w-page:https://alessandrarossi.net e-mail address:alessandra.rossi@unina.it e-mail address:a.rossi@herts.ac.uk X: @alhandra81 SCRITA 2024 Trust, Acceptance and Social Cues in Human-Robot Interaction Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, USA 26-30 August 2024 Workshop website http://scrita.herts.ac.uk Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scrita2024 Submission deadline May 31st, 2024 This workshop will be a half day event organised in conjunction with theIEEE RO-MAN 2024 <http://ro-man2024.org/>conference, held in Pasadena, California, USA. This workshop focuses on the continuous investigation of unresolved and new open challenges of the factors affecting people's acceptance and trust in robots in short- and long-term settings. In particular, we want to look into the dynamics between people and robots to foster short interactions and long-lasting relationships taking inspiration from different domains, such as educational, service, collaborative, companion, care-home and medical robotics. For that, this workshop aims to facilitate a discussion about people’s trust towards robots “in the field”, inviting workshop participants to contribute their past experiences, lessons learnt and future issues. During last year's workshop edition(i.e., SCRITA@RO-MAN 2023), together with leading researchers and exceptional speakers from various fields, we started working towards developing such novel methods. We outlined current methods and their strengths, discussing how these measures do not always reflect appropriately, or how some questions might be ambiguous and leave room for interpretation by individual participants. We identified five main factors affecting trust to be investigated to generate a new metric that allows researchers to assess and reduce common side effects influencing how people put their trust in robots. Submission & List of Topics The workshop will be 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. We will invite authors to submit position papers only, discussing their prior experience and new developments in the scope of the workshop to feed into the group and the following panel discussions. We further encourage authors of the accepted papers topresent a video or demonstratetheir works and achievements. All accepted submissions will have an oral presentation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Impact of Social Cues on Trust in HRI; * Measuring Trust in HRI; * Trust Violation and Recovery Mechanism in HRI; * Effects of Humans’ Acceptance on Trust of Robots; * Humans Sense of Control and Trust in Robots; * Trust and Assistive Robotics; * Overtrust in Robots; * Antecedent of Trust and Robot Trust; * Enhancing Humans Trust in Robots; * Enhancing Trust in a Robot Companion; * Privacy Implications on Trust in HRI; * Mental Models and Trust in HRI; * Trust and Safety in HRI; * Ethics Implications on Trust in HRI; * Trustworthy AI; * XAI in HRI; * Legal Frameworks for Trustworthy Robotics Submission Guidelines Authors should submit their papers formatted according to theIEEE two-column format <http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php>, which is also used for contributions to the main conference.
