Abstract

There are current methodological and epistemological gaps and struggles between Human-Drone Interaction research and the field of design. We highlight five HDI design considerations and suggest a non-exhaustive list of design methods to approach them. We present an appeal to a more diverse and inclusive study of drones where current research can be balanced with a deeply qualitative and critical understanding of these flying robots through embracing design knowledge.
