Trust is one of the hallmarks of human-human and human-robot interaction. Extensive evidence has shown that trust among humans requires reciprocity.

The current paper argues that reciprocity may also play a key role in the emergence of mutual trust and successful collaboration between humans and robots. We will gather and discuss works
