As robots become more advanced and capable, developing trust is an important factor of Human-robot interaction and cooperation. However, as multiple environmental and social factors can influence trust, it is important to develop more elaborate scenarios and methods to measure Human-robot trust. A widely used measurement of trust in social science is the . In this study, we propose a scaled-up, immersive, science fiction Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenario for intrinsic motivation on Human-robot collaboration, built upon the investment game and aimed at adapting the investment game for Human-robot trust. For this purpose, we utilize two Neuro-Inspired COmpanion (NICO) - robots and a projected scenery. We investigate the applicability of our space mission experiment design to measure trust and the impact of non-verbal communication. We observe a correlation of 0.43 ( ) between self-assessed trust and trust measured from the game, and a positive impact of non-verbal communication on trust ( ) and robot perception for anthropomorphism ( ) and animacy ( ). We conclude that our scenario is an appropriate method to measure trust in Human-robot interaction and also to study how non-verbal communication influences a Human's trust in robots.
