Trust Dynamics in HRI

Overview

Understanding how trust is formed, maintained, and calibrated in diverse collaborative contexts is crucial for building effective human-robot teams. In this emerging line of research, my focus is on developing novel methodologies to better align human mental models with actual robot capabilities. Specifically, I aim to uncover how trust evolves over time in complex teaming scenarios and identify interaction strategies that can help sustain this alignment.
