Recent technological advancements in small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have led to the development of companion UAVs. Similar to conventional companion robots, companion UAVs have the potential to assist us in our daily lives and to help alleviating social loneliness issue. In contrast to ground companion robots, companion UAVs have the capability to fly and possess unique interaction characteristics. Our goals in this work are to have a bird's-eye view of the companion UAV works and to identify lessons learned and guidelines for the design of companion UAVs. We tackle two major challenges towards these goals, where we first use a coordinated way to gather top-quality human-drone interaction (HDI) papers from three sources, and then propose to use a perceptual map of UAVs to summarize current research efforts in HDI. While being simple, the proposed perceptual map can cover the efforts have been made to realize companion UAVs in a comprehensive manner and lead our discussion coherently. We also discuss patterns we noticed in the literature and some lessons learned throughout the review. In addition, we recommend several areas that are worth exploring and suggest a few guidelines to enhance HDI researches with companion UAVs.

伴侣无人机：一项调查

小型无人机 (UAV) 的最新技术进步导致了配套无人机的发展。与传统的陪伴机器人类似，陪伴无人机具有在日常生活中为我们提供帮助并帮助缓解社交孤独问题的潜力。与地面伴侣机器人相比，伴侣无人机具有飞行能力并具有独特的交互特性。我们在这项工作中的目标是对配套无人机的工作有一个鸟瞰图，并确定配套无人机设计的经验教训和指导方针。我们解决了实现这些目标的两个主要挑战，首先使用协调的方式从三个来源收集高质量的人机交互 (HDI) 论文，然后建议使用无人机的感知图来总结当前在 HDI 方面的研究工作. 虽然很简单，但所提出的感知图可以全面涵盖为实现伴随无人机所做的努力，并连贯地引导我们的讨论。我们还讨论了我们在文献中注意到的模式以及在整个审查过程中学到的一些经验教训。此外，我们推荐了几个值得探索的领域，并提出了一些指导方针，以加强与无人机配套的 HDI 研究。
