Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that we extended the deadline for submission at SCRITA workshop.
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 2-page 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. 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

Submission deadline
14 July 2024
This workshop will be a half day event on 26 August and it is organised in conjunction with the IEEE 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 2-pages 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 submissions will have an oral presentation.
