Rethinking Trust Repair in Human-Robot Interaction
As robots become increasingly prevalent in work-oriented collaborations,
trust has emerged as a critical factor in their acceptance and effectiveness.
However, trust is dynamic and can erode when mistakes are made. Despite
emerging research on trust repair in human-robot interaction, significant
questions remain about identifying reliable approaches to restoring trust in
robots after trust violations occur. To address this problem, my research aims
to identify effective strategies for designing robots capable of trust repair
in human-robot interaction (HRI) and to explore the underlying mechanisms that
make these strategies successful. This paper provides an overview of the
fundamental concepts and key components of the trust repair process in HRI, as
well as a summary of my current published work in this area. Additionally, I
discuss the research questions that will guide my future work and the potential
contributions that this research could make to the field.Comment: Pre-Print of Submission for CSCW 2023 Doctoral Consortiu
The impact of peoples' personal dispositions and personalities on their trust of robots in an emergency scenario
Humans should be able to trust that they can safely interact with their home companion robot. However, robots can exhibit occasional mechanical, programming or functional errors. We hypothesise that the severity of the consequences and the timing of a robot's different types of erroneous behaviours during an interaction may have different impacts on users' attitudes towards a domestic robot. First, we investigated human users' perceptions of the severity of various categories of potential errors that are likely to be exhibited by a domestic robot. Second, we used an interactive storyboard to evaluate participants' degree of trust in the robot after it performed tasks either correctly, or with 'small' or 'big' errors. Finally, we analysed the correlation between participants' responses regarding their personality, predisposition to trust other humans, their perceptions of robots, and their interaction with the robot. We conclude that there is correlation between the magnitude of an error performed by a robot and the corresponding loss of trust by the human towards the robot. Moreover we observed that some traits of participants' personalities (conscientiousness and agreeableness) and their disposition of trusting other humans (benevolence) significantly increased their tendency to trust a robot more during an emergency scenario.Peer reviewe

This conference is a local event aiming at bringing together the research students, staff and eminent external guests to celebrate Engineering and Computer Science Research at the University of Hertfordshire. The ECS Research Conference aims to showcase the broad landscape of research taking place in the School of Engineering and Computer Science. The 2019 conference was articulated around three topical cross-disciplinary themes: Make and Preserve the Future; Connect the People and Cities; and Protect and Care
Do People Trust Robots that Learn in the Home?
It is not scalable for assistive robotics to have all functionalities
pre-programmed prior to user introduction. Instead, it is more realistic for
agents to perform supplemental on site learning. This opportunity to learn user
and environment particularities is especially helpful for care robots that
assist with individualized caregiver activities in residential or nursing home
environments. Many assistive robots, ranging in complexity from Roomba to
Pepper, already conduct some of their learning in the home, observable to the
user. We lack an understanding of how witnessing this learning impacts the
user. Thus, we propose to assess end-user attitudes towards the concept of
embodied robots that conduct some learning in the home as compared to robots
that are delivered fully-capable. In this virtual, between-subjects study, we
recruit end users (care-givers and care-takers) from nursing homes, and
investigate user trust in three different domains: navigation, manipulation,
and preparation. Informed by the first study where we identify agent learning
as a key factor in determining trust, we propose a second study to explore how
to modulate that trust. This second, in-person study investigates the
effectiveness of apologies, explanations of robot failure, and transparency of
learning at improving trust in embodied learning robots.Comment: Presented at Machine Learning in Human-Robot Collaboration: Bridging
