Abstract

Robots are entering human spaces faster than we can establish when they deserve trust. We propose a framework for trustworthy physical AI that integrates Safety, Behavioral Intelligibility, and Perceptual Alignment across embodiment, control, cognition, and design. Trustworthiness emerges from aligning physical capabilities, observable behavior, and expectations people form during interaction.
