Human-Robot Interaction, in which a robot with some level of autonomy
interacts with a human to achieve a specific goal has seen much recent
progress. With the introduction of autonomous robots and the possibility of
widespread use of those in near future, it is critical that humans understand
the robot's intention while interacting with them as this will foster the
development of human-robot trust. The new conceptualization of trust which had
been introduced by researchers in recent years considers trust in Human-Robot
Interaction to be a multidimensional nature. Two main aspects which are
attributed to trust are performance trust and moral trust. We aim to design an
experiment to investigate the consequences of performance-trust violation and
moral-trust violation in a search and rescue scenario. We want to see if two
similar robot failures, one caused by a performance-trust violation and the
other by a moral-trust violation have distinct effects on human trust. In
addition to this, we plan to develop an interface that allows us to investigate
whether altering the interface's modality from grid-world scenario (2D
environment) to realistic simulation (3D environment) affects human perception
of the task and the effects of the robot's failure on human trust.

Evaluation of Performance-Trust vs Moral-Trust Violation in 3D Environment

In recent years a modern conceptualization of trust in human-robot
interaction (HRI) was introduced by Ullman et al.\cite{ullman2018does}. This
new conceptualization of trust suggested that trust between humans and robots
is multidimensional, incorporating both performance aspects (i.e., similar to
the trust in human-automation interaction) and moral aspects (i.e., similar to
the trust in human-human interaction). But how does a robot violating each of
these different aspects of trust affect human trust in a robot? How does trust
in robots change when a robot commits a moral-trust violation compared to a
performance-trust violation? And whether physiological signals have the
potential to be used for assessing gain/loss of each of these two trust aspects
in a human. We aim to design an experiment to study the effects of
performance-trust violation and moral-trust violation separately in a search
and rescue task. We want to see whether two failures of a robot with equal
magnitudes would affect human trust differently if one failure is due to a
performance-trust violation and the other is a moral-trust violation.

本文的研究目的在于设计实验来分别研究表现信任违反和道德信任违反对于人类对于机器人信任的影响，尤其探究当机器人违反特定的信任维度时，人对于机器人的信任会发生怎样的变化，以及生理信号能否用于评估这些不同类型的信任得失。
