Abstract
This workshop aimed for a deeper exploration of trust and acceptance in human-robot interaction (HRI) from a multidisciplinary perspective including robots' capabilities of sensing and perceiving other agents, the environment, and human-robot dynamics. The workshop was held online in conjunction with IEEE RO-MAN 2021 (see https://ro-man2021.org/). Three invited speakers and six position papers analysed/discussed different aspects of human-robot interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine, or recover humans' trust in robots, such as the use of social cues or behaviour transparency. The attendees of different backgrounds engaged in a dynamic conversation about the relevant challenges of effectively supporting the design and development of socially acceptable and trustable robots.
