About

Anke Brock is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, accessible technology, and human-drone interaction. Her work fundamentally explores how people can collaborate with autonomous systems, with a particular focus on making technology inclusive for users with disabilities. Brock’s major contributions include developing interactive map systems that adapt to user needs, as demonstrated in her highly cited work "FlyMap" (51 citations), which reimagines how drones can serve as navigational aids. She further advanced this field with "iHDI" (18 citations), investigating drones as assistive tools for people with disabilities, social companions, and components in virtual environments. Her most recent work on "Considerations for Handover and Co-working with Drones" (2024) addresses the critical challenge of designing seamless collaboration between human workers and autonomous flying robots in industrial settings. Through her research, Brock has established herself as a leading voice in accessible drone technology, bridging the gap between cutting-edge robotics and human-centered design. Her work not only advances theoretical understanding but also provides practical frameworks for developing inclusive, collaborative autonomous systems that can transform how people interact with technology in their daily lives and workplaces.
