About

Dante Tezza is a leading voice in human–drone interaction (HDI), a field he has helped define and advance. His landmark survey, "The State-of-the-Art of Human–Drone Interaction: A Survey" (2019), with over 200 citations, remains a foundational reference for researchers exploring how humans can intuitively control and collaborate with autonomous aerial systems. Tezza’s work bridges robotics, human-computer interaction, and cognitive engineering, focusing on making drone interfaces more natural, safe, and accessible—whether through gesture, voice, or gaze. By systematically mapping the challenges and design principles of HDI, he has guided a generation of scholars toward more user-centered drone applications, from delivery services to emergency response. His contributions are particularly notable for their interdisciplinary rigor, combining technical innovation with deep consideration of human factors. Tezza’s research continues to shape how we think about the future of human-robot teams, ensuring that as drones become ubiquitous, they remain partners we can trust and communicate with seamlessly.
