Quadrotor or blimp?: noise and appearance considerations in designing social aerial robot
Pages 183 - 184
Abstract
Aerial robots offer a novel HRI platform thanks to their flying capabilities. However, existing aerial robots are designed from functional point of view and do not take social factors such as noise and appearance issues into serious consideration. Compared to quadrotor (noisier but higher speed), we investigated whether blimp (quieter but slower speed) is a better platform for social aerial robot. We formed hypotheses based on findings from physiology and psychology studies and examined our ideas with responses collected from online survey and interaction experiment.

Visual Track System Applied in Quadrotor Aerial Robot
ICDMA '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Third International Conference on Digital Manufacturing & AutomationUnmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had developed for many years, with quad-rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle developing fastest. The equations of its flight attitude have been derived and verified by some scholars. Up to now, ...
Optimal transition from hovering to level-flight of a quadrotor tail-sitter UAV
A quadrotor equipped with a fixed-wing (hereinafter referred to as the quadrotor tail-sitter UAV) has been developed by authors. The quadrotor tail-sitter UAV can hover like a quadrotor and can fly like a fixed-wing airplane. The remarkable ...
Safe Landing Analysis of a Quadrotor Aircraft With Two Legs
We proposed a multi-propeller multifunction aerial robot (MMAR) that is composed of a quadrotor with two legs. The legs can increase the function of the robot. We found that the legs can increase the safety region of the robot during the landing. To ...
