Human-Drone Interaction: Drone Delivery & Services for Social Events

In recent years, there has been an increasing research interest in drones and its applications such as a drone delivery service, ping-pong play companion, and jogging companion. However, despite the growing interest in drones for social scenarios, there are only a few drones have paid attention to factors such as drone's movements, appearance, and comfortable distance for natural human-robot interaction (HRI). In this study, we explore the critical factors for successful human-drone interactions (HDI) in a social scenario, and proposed a social friendly design by implementing new appearance and behaviors of a drone.
