Belief-Aware Influence and Trust (BAIT): Shaping Human Belief During Repeated Human-Robot Interaction

arXiv:2607.25327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repeated human-robot interaction (HRI) requires proactively accounting for humans who continually adapt to evolving beliefs about the robot. Prior frameworks often treat encounters as isolated events, suffering cumulative task performance decay as human perception drifts, or maintain long-term influence through erratic, unpredictable behavior that erodes perceived human trust and relies on computationally unscalable formulations. To address these g...
