Abstract
Research has mainly focused on dyadic trust relationships between individual humans and robots. However, in real-world applications, multiple humans interact with the same robot over time, creating opportunities for third-party influences on trust. This study investigates whether a human third party can influence a new human trustor’s perceived trust in a robot trustee. We conducted a between-subjects experiment with 24 participants, using a humanoid robot. Results show that the experimental group exhibited significantly higher trust levels after the robot successfully completed the task again. Interestingly, we did not find a significant difference directly after the intervention, which we used after a failure to repair trust. These findings suggest that trust in human-robot dyads is not isolated but can be influenced by social dynamics. This has important implications for both research, highlighting the need for standardized researcher behavior, and practice, indicating that trust in robots may be interconnected across workforces.
This study examines interactions between students and a social robot in an experiment designed to explore students' trust in educational robots. In the experiment, 16 out of 22 students come to accept an erroneous solution to a mathematical task presented by the robot, even though the vast majority of students initiall...

Trust is an important aspect that influences the outcome of human-robot collaborations. Robots with a humanoid morphology might influence perceptions of trust. In this paper, we provide a comparison of two robots, one with a humanoid and one with a technical morphology, performing a collaborative task. In addition to i...
We study trust and reciprocity in human-robot interaction using behavioral economic games. In Study $1 (\mathrm{N}=42)$, participants played a three-round trust game both with a human and a LuxAI QT robot, as sender or receiver. Senders invested comparable amounts in human and robot partners, but receivers returned sig...

Understanding human perceptions of quadruped robots is essential for their successful integration into public environments. While substantial human-robot interaction (HRI) research focuses on humanoid robots, research on humanquadruped robot interaction is limited. This study examines how control type, movement speed,...

How, in human–robot interaction, robots enact actions programmed to resemble human interactional competence and how the participants align with the misaligned actions while managing the activities that the robots initiate is observed.
