“…We will explore different interactions to cover these needs in future iterations. Moreover, we were not able to explore CandyFly for all types of disabilities (e.g., only one participant was low vision or blind despite drone piloting being of interest to people with visual impairments [25]) and hence more workshops with users with different abilities are planned for the future.…”

“…Drones have been explored for people with visual impairements, focusing on guidance and navigation tasks [4], to detect obstacles [30], to provide auditory feedback for blind runners [1] or to support orientation & mobility training [21,29]. Gadiraju et al [25] have shown that visually impaired people are interested in flying drones, including for leisure activities.…”

Mobile service robots have become increasingly ubiquitous. However, these robots can pose potential accessibility issues and safety concerns to people with visual impairments (PVI). We sought to explore the challenges faced by PVI around mainstream mobile service robots and identify their needs. Seventeen PVI were interviewed about their experiences with three emerging robots: vacuum robots, delivery robots, and drones. We comprehensively investigated PVI's robot experiences by considering their different roles around robots---direct users and bystanders. Our study highlighted participants' challenges and concerns about the accessibility, safety, and privacy issues around mobile service robots. We found that the lack of accessible feedback made it difficult for PVI to precisely control, locate, and track the status of the robots. Moreover, encountering mobile robots as bystanders confused and even scared the participants, presenting safety and privacy barriers. We further distilled design considerations for more accessible and safe robots for PVI.
