The workshop will be held in conjunction with IEEE RO-MAN 2020, Royal Continental Hotel and Meeting Centre, Naples, Italy, August 31 – 04 September, 2020.
The SCRITA workshop is a continuation of two successful previous workshops at the RO-MAN conference in 2018 and 2019. This workshop focuses on investigating users' trust in robots. Although the previous editions had the pleasure to welcome the participation of leading researchers in the field, and several exceptional invited speakers, who identified some of the principal points in this research direction, current research still presents several limitations. For this reason, we continue to further explore the role of trust in social robotics to effectively support the design and development of socially acceptable and trustable service robots. In this context, a deeper exploration of trust in HRI approached from a multidisciplinary perspective (from AI to Psychology, passing through Ethics and Law) is required. Therefore, this workshop will analyse the different aspects of human-robot interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine, or recover humans' trust in robots, such as the use of social cues, behaviour transparency (goals and actions), etc.
As the previous workshops were followed by special issues in Interaction Studies and the International Journal of Social Robotics, we again aim for a special issue in a relevant journal that is based on the current workshop iteration.
List of Topics
We are seeking papers covering all the different aspects of Human-Robot Interaction that can affect, enhance, undermine and recovery of humans' trust and acceptance in robots. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Measuring Trust in Human-Robot Interaction
- Trust Violation and Recovery Mechanism in HRI
- Effects of Humans' Acceptance on Trust of Robots
- Humans Sense of Control and Trust in Robots
- Trust and Assistive Robotics
- Overtrust in Robots
- Antecedent of Trust and Robot Trust
- Enhancing Humans Trust in Robots
- Enhancing Trust in a Robot Companion
- Privacy implications on Trust in HRI
- Mental models and Trust in HRI
- Trust and Safety in HRI
- Ethics implications on Trust in HRI
- Trustworthy AI
- Legal frameworks for trustworthy robotics

Submission Guidelines
We encourage participants to submit extended abstract or full papers, up to 6 pages, on original research and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
We also would like to invite participants to submit an input paper, up to 2 pages, to be used as discussion points for a panel discussion held during the workshop with the invited speakers and attendees.
Authors should submit their papers formatted according the IEEE RO-MAN two-column format. Download the template: LaTeX or MS-Word, Use these templates/style files to create the paper and save in PDF format. Authors can submit a PDF copy through EasyChair. Each paper will receive two reviews. At least one of the authors of the accepted papers needs to register to the workshop.
