This paper presents user needs and preferences gathered prior to the development of an indoor remotely piloted air system. A literature review was carried out to analyse previous studies about the involvement of users in the design of indoor unmanned aerial vehicles. Subsequently, the results of these user needs obtained from three focus groups held in European countries (Belgium, Spain and United Kingdom) are presented here. Through a content analysis of the information obtained in the focus groups, 40 codes and 4 variables were defined and used to examine the differences between types of users and their previous experience with drones. The literature review gave support to the results obtained through users’ involvement in the features to be included in a new unmanned aerial vehicle. Non-parametric tests and qualitative comparative analysis were used to analyse the information gathered in the focus groups. The results revealed few differences between artists working in creative industries and drone operators working for the creative industries. These differences affected features such as detecting and avoiding obstacles, which requires the inclusion of sensors. In addition, previous experience with drones was found to be a sufficient condition to explain greater concerns over safety, ethical and security issues in indoor environments.

本文介绍了在开发室内遥控飞机系统之前收集的用户需求和偏好。进行了文献综述，以分析先前有关用户参与室内无人飞行器设计的研究。随后，此处介绍了从欧洲国家（比利时，西班牙和英国）的三个焦点小组获得的这些用户需求的结果。通过对焦点小组中获得的信息的内容分析，定义了40个代码和4个变量，并用于检查用户类型与他们以前的无人机体验之间的差异。文献综述为用户参与新的无人机所具有的功能所获得的结果提供了支持。使用非参数测试和定性比较分析来分析焦点小组中收集的信息。结果表明，从事创意产业的艺术家与从事创意产业的无人机操作员之间几乎没有区别。这些差异影响了功能，例如检测和避开障碍物，需要包括传感器。此外，发现无人机的先前经验足以解释室内环境中对安全，道德和安全问题的更大关注。这需要包括传感器。此外，发现无人机的先前经验足以解释室内环境中对安全，道德和安全问题的更大关注。这需要包括传感器。此外，发现无人机的先前经验足以解释室内环境中对安全，道德和安全问题的更大关注。
