There is an increasing interest in considering, implementing, and measuring trust in human-robot interaction (HRI). Typically, this centres on influencing user trust within the framing of HRI as a dyadic interaction between robot and user. We propose this misses a key complexity: a robot's trustworthiness may also be contingent on the user's relationship with, and opinion of, the individual or organisation deploying the robot. Our new HRI triad model (User, Robot, Deployer), offers novel predictions for considering and measuring trust more completely.
