Despite the relatively young age of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) as a field, there is a
large volume of research on advances in robot hardware, software and behavior. The goal …

Interacting with flying objects has fueled people's imagination throughout history. Over the
past decade, the Human-Drone Interaction (HDI) community has been working towards …

Drones have expanded from military operations to performing a broad range of civilian
applications. As drone usage increases, humans will interact with such systems more often …

Personal drones are becoming popular. It is challenging to design how to interact with these
flying robots. We present a Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) elicitation study that informs how to naturally …

In this paper, we describe a system that enables a low-cost quadrocopter coupled with a
ground-based laptop to navigate autonomously in previously unknown and GPS-denied …

The construction industry lags behind many others in the rate of adoption of cutting edge
technologies. In the area of safety management this is more so. Many advances in …

This paper presents the AR-Drone quadrotor helicopter as a robotic platform usable for
research and education. Apart from the description of hardware and software, we discuss …

We present a complete solution for the visual navigation of a small-scale, low-cost
quadrocopter in unknown environments. Our approach relies solely on a monocular camera …

Assistive free-flyers (AFFs) are an emerging robotic platform with unparalleled flight
capabilities that appear uniquely suited to exploration, surveillance, inspection, and …

Personal drones are becoming more mainstream and are used for a variety of tasks, such as
delivery and photography. The exposed blades in conventional drones raise serious safety …
