Examining Trust in Human-Robot Interaction

Trust is a multifaceted concept that is a necessary component in most of our interactions, whether they be social, team-based, or goal oriented in nature. As robots enter our world, we need to understand what it means to trust a robot and what factors and situations have an impact on human-robot trust. In this talk, I introduce an overview of trust before discussing two types of trust that can be used to categorize the way human-robot interaction researchers define, investigate, and measure trust. I further explore trust measurements by presenting an online user study that dives deeper into subjective trust questionnaires. I then discuss another user study about the interplay between emotional intelligence, gender, and trust to examine factors that affect trust in robots. Finally, I present a model for trustworthy robot behavior as implemented in the DIARC cognitive architecture.
