Trustworthy Human-Robot Teams

The COVID19 pandemic has presented novel challenges for routine tasks such as surgery and cleaning. Social distancing makes working in close proximity difficult, exacerbated by additional pressures due to employee sickness and austerity measures.

These challenges present increased opportunities for human-robot collaborative teams but questions remain relating to trust towards the robot within the team and more broadly, the trust of affected groups (e.g., patients) towards tasks carried out by robot-assisted teams.

This interdisciplinary TAS Hub agile project will explore different aspects related to trust within and towards human-robot teams in two essential tasks: surgery and cleaning.

Start date: 1 February 2021 – 31 January 2022
