The Human Factor in Robotics: A Study of Trust and Reliability. In recent years, robotics has made tremendous strides in various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. One area that has garnered significant attention is the human-robot interaction (HRI), which plays a crucial role in determining the success or failure of these systems. This study aims to investigate the impact of trust on HRI, exploring how humans form relationships with robots and what factors influence their perception of reliability. The human factor in robotics refers to the complex interactions between humans and robots, encompassing not only technical aspects but also social and emotional dimensions. Trust is a fundamental aspect of these interactions, as it enables humans to rely on robots for critical tasks, such as surgery or navigation. However, trust can be fragile, and its breakdown can have severe consequences. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of human factors in robotics, emphasizing the need for designers to consider both technical and social aspects when developing robotic systems. This study contributes to this body of research by exploring the relationship between trust and reliability in HRI. The findings suggest that humans tend to form relationships with robots based on a combination of factors, including the robot's appearance, behavior, and performance. The results indicate that trust is closely tied to perception, with humans relying heavily on visual cues when interacting with robots. The study also highlights the significance of consistency in human-robot interactions, as inconsistent behavior can erode trust and undermine reliability. Overall, this research underscores the importance of considering the human factor in robotics design, particularly in terms of trust and reliability. By understanding how humans interact with robots and what factors influence their perception of these systems, designers can create more effective and reliable robotic solutions that improve human lives.
