论文摘要
无人机是一项令人兴奋的技术,在全球消费市场中很快被采用。非洲已成为卢旺达建立的第一个无人机机场,目前被用于医疗,农业和野生动植物监测等申请。尽管无人机的存在越来越多,但对利益相关者的观点缺乏研究。我们使用共同设计方法与来自撒哈拉以南几个国家的专家进行了人类无人机交互用户研究(n = 15)。参与者描述了新颖的应用,并确定了在这种情况下集成无人机的重要设计方面。我们的结果突出了无人机解决现实世界问题的潜力,需要在文化上处于文化上的需求,以及考虑其与人类互动的社会方面的重要性。这项研究强调了人类无人机交互设计过程中对各种观点的需求。
Drones are an exciting technology that is quickly being adopted in the global consumer market. Africa has become a center of deployment with the first drone airport established in Rwanda and drones currently being used for applications such as medical deliveries, agriculture, and wildlife monitoring. Despite this increasing presence of drones, there is a lack of research on stakeholders' perspectives from this region. We ran a human-drone interaction user study (N=15) with experts from several sub-Saharan countries using a co-design methodology. Participants described novel applications and identified important design aspects for the integration of drones in this context. Our results highlight the potential of drones to address real world problems, the need for them to be culturally situated, and the importance of considering the social aspects of their interaction with humans. This research highlights the need for diverse perspectives in the human-drone interaction design process.
