Trust-Based Interfaces in Human–Robot Interaction
Massimo Durante · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2024
This chapter examines from a theoretical perspective the role of interface in the formation of trust in HR interaction, notably between humans and humanoid robotic agents. Interfaces are fundamental means of communication that do not only allow interaction between different agents but they also enable them to exchange information on the nature of the context in which the interaction takes place: This can facilitate the formation of a trust relationship between agents, whether they are human or robotic, within a more or less structured context. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the pivotal role of human–robot interfaces as essential means of communication from the analysis displayed in my contribution.
