ArKaiROS2025: The Extended Self: Agency and Trust in Robotic Avatars

In the context of Moonshot Goal 1, robotic avatars are envisioned as tools for enhanced autonomy, accessibility, and superhuman action. However, user acceptance and control efficiency depend not only on performance, but on the felt experience of control and on the user trust of the system. Loss of sense of agency leads to loss of sense of trust, disengagement, and system rejection.

The event’s areas of interest encompass the following topics, without limitation: human machine interface, ai, robotics and neurotechnology.
