Please submit your paper(s) to: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=scritartss2025 https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=scritartss2025 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.
