Trust in Human-Robot Interaction

Trust in Human-Robot Interaction addresses the gamut of factors that influence trust of robotic systems. The book presents the theory, fundamentals, techniques and diverse applications of the behavioral, cognitive and neural mechanisms of trust in human-robot interaction, covering topics like individual differences, transparency, communication, physical design, privacy and ethics.

• Presents a repository of the open questions and challenges in trust in HRI
• Includes contributions from many disciplines participating in HRI research, including psychology, neuroscience, sociology, engineering and computer science
• Examines human information processing as a foundation for understanding HRI
• Details the methods and techniques used to test and quantify trust in HRI
