Self-Consciousness and Theory of Mind for a Robot Developing Trust Relationships
Abstract
The project is a highly interdisciplinary effort combining methods and theories from cognitivescience, computer science, neurosciences and human-robot interaction. It is aimed at the study ofmain social elements as self-consciousness and theory of mind in supporting trust relationships inhuman-robot teaming by employing the Pepper humanoid robot. Surprisingly, self-consciousness and theory of mind have been so far only partially taken into account in psychological studies concerning trust in human-robot teaming. Robot architectures with a sense of self have been proposed in cognitive robotics literature, and also aspects of the theory of mind of a robot have been previously discussed. However, no robotics studies at state of the art have looked, as in this project, at the simultaneous and integrated implementation of aspects of robot self-consciousness and theory of mind and at their effects in supporting trust interaction between humans and robots.
