Drones with eyes: expressive Human-Drone Interaction

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Drones are showing potential for many applications in which the interaction with humans are needed. In this paper, we demonstrate how affective computing can be applied to achieve a more natural Human-Drone Interaction. We proposed a learning approach for automatic and context-dependant coupling of emotion recognition and expression in a human-drone interaction. The drone performs facial emotion estimation to autonomously produce emotional expression through minimalistic animated eyes, using small displays. Additional testing is needed to further refine the interactions and establish how emotional interactions evolve in longer term interactions.
