Abstract

Drones are often used in a context where they interact with human users. They, however, lack the social cues that their robotic counterparts have. If drones would possess such cues, would people respond to them more positively? This paper investigates people’s evaluations of a drone with eyes versus one without. Results show mainly positive effects, i.e. a drone with eyes is seen as more social and human-like than a drone without eyes, and that people are more willing to interact with it. These findings imply that adding eyes to a drone that is designed to interact with humans may make this interaction more natural, and as such enable a successful introduction of social drones.
