“…Le domaine de l'Interaction Humain-Drone (IHD) est un domaine de recherche grandissant au sein de la communauté IHM [3,7,8]. Des travaux portent sur l'utilisation des drones dans différents domaines d'applications comme l'aide à la navigation [25], l'art [11] ou la photographie [9,24], et proposent des techniques d'interaction pour le pilotage [28,34]. Malgré le nombre croissant de travaux dans ce domaine, les études en conditions réelles sont peu nombreuses comme identifié par Ljungblad et al [26].…”

The use of civilian drones is a growing market offering services such as delivery, surveillance or rescue. The operationalization of these uses is complex and presents a level of risk that must be controlled through safety analysis processes and authorization requests before any flight. In order to instrument these processes with usable interactive systems, we conducted interviews with drone operators, safety study coaches and regulators. We found that despite the use of many tools and methods, files often have to be modified several times following feedback from regulators. We describe the work processes and the interaction between actors during the missions preparation. The preparation include the definition of a concept of operation, the assessment of operational risks and obtaining an authorization to operate from authorities. For each of these steps, we offer recommendations for designing new interactive systems able to support safety. RÉSUMÉL'usage des drones civils est un marché en expansion proposant des services tels que la livraison, la surveillance ou le sauvetage. L'opérationnalisation de ces usages est complexe et présente un niveau de risque à maîtriser par des processus d'analyse de sécurité et de demandes d'autorisation avant tout vol. Afin d'instrumenter ces processus avec des systèmes interactifs utilisables, nous avons mené des entretiens auprès d'opérateurs de drones, d'accompagnateurs pour les études de sécurité et de régulateurs. Malgré l'utilisation de nombreux outils et méthodes, les dossiers doivent souvent être modifiés plusieurs fois suite aux retours des régulateurs.

“…Tsykunov et al ( 2018 ) explored how to use a haptic glove to control a team of drones as if they were all connected via a spring-damper system. Research has also focused on the development of gesture languages, as in the works of Soto-Gerrero and Ramrez-Torres ( 2016 ) and Couture et al ( 2018 ). Virtual reality is also becoming an increasingly popular technology, and is beginning to be applied to the control of MAVs (Tsykunov and Tsetserukou, 2019 ; Vempati et al, 2019 ).…”

This work presents a review and discussion of the challenges that must be solved in order to successfully develop swarms of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for real world operations. From the discussion, we extract constraints and links that relate the local level MAV capabilities to the global operations of the swarm. These should be taken into account when designing swarm behaviors in order to maximize the utility of the group. At the lowest level, each MAV should operate safely. Robustness is often hailed as a pillar of swarm robotics, and a minimum level of local reliability is needed for it to propagate to the global level. An MAV must be capable of autonomous navigation within an environment with sufficient trustworthiness before the system can be scaled up. Once the operations of the single MAV are sufficiently secured for a task, the subsequent challenge is to allow the MAVs to sense one another within a neighborhood of interest. Relative localization of neighbors is a fundamental part of self-organizing robotic systems, enabling behaviors ranging from basic relative collision avoidance to higher level coordination. This ability, at times taken for granted, also must be sufficiently reliable. Moreover, herein lies a constraint: the design choice of the relative localization sensor has a direct link to the behaviors that the swarm can (and should) perform. Vision-based systems, for instance, force MAVs to fly within the field of view of their camera. Range or communication-based solutions, alternatively, provide omni-directional relative localization, yet can be victim to unobservable conditions under certain flight behaviors, such as parallel flight, and require constant relative excitation. At the swarm level, the final outcome is thus intrinsically influenced by the on-board abilities and sensors of the individual. The real-world behavior and operations of an MAV swarm intrinsically follow in a bottom-up fashion as a result of the local level limitations in cognition, relative knowledge, communication, power, and safety. Taking these local limitations into account when designing a global swarm behavior is key in order to take full advantage of the system, enabling local limitations to become true strengths of the swarm.

“…Within the field of Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Drone Interaction (HDI) is relatively recent, but is gaining more and more attention [8,14,45,58]. It investigates diverse use cases such as navigation [10,37], art [18,55], or photography [16,35], and it makes use of diverse interaction techniques, including for instance gestural and voice interaction [45,58].…”
