Human-Drone Interaction: state of the art, open issues and challenges

In the evolution of the Human-Computer Interaction discipline, it is interesting to evaluate the users' experience within the interaction between users and a specific category of robots, which are characterized by peculiar features: the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Drones are becoming more and more diffused, being used with different purposes. Hence, the interaction with these devices is getting common and here we aim at investigating how they can be exploited by means of different users' interfaces and with different interaction mechanisms. In this paper, we present a review of the state of the art in the context of the human-drone interaction, so as to study and discuss the main open issues and challenges currently highlighted and reported in research projects and papers available in the current literature.
