Abstract
The utilization of drones to assist runners in real-time and post-run remains a promising yet unexplored field within human-drone interaction (HDI). Hence, in my doctoral research, I aim to delve into the concepts and relationships surrounding drones in the context of running, than focusing solely on one specific application. I plan on accomplishing this through a three-stage research plan: 1) investigate the feasibility of drones to support outdoor running research, 2) empathize with runners to assess their preferences and experiences running with drone, and 3) implement and test an interactive running with drone scenario. Each stage has specific objectives and research questions aimed at providing valuable insights into the utilization of drones to support runners. This paper outlines the work conducted during my Ph.D. research along with future plans, with the goal of advancing the knowledge in the field of runner drone interaction.
