“…With the rapid advancement of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technologies, there are initiatives to make use of these developments in order to interact with flying robots. Recent works to develop voice activated ground control stations for aerial vehicles have yielded promising results [9], [10]. As to the best of our knowledge, state-of-theart systems for voice-controlled drones re so far able to recognise a limited number of commands and translate these directly into fixed controls signals [11], [12], [13].…”

With the rapid advance of sophisticated control algorithms, the capabilities of drones to stabilise, fly and manoeuvre autonomously have dramatically improved, enabling us to pay greater attention to entire missions and the interaction of a drone with humans and with its environment during the course of such a mission. In this paper, we present an indoor office drone assistant that is tasked to run errands and carry out simple tasks at our laboratory, while given instructions from and interacting with humans in the space. To accomplish its mission, the system has to be able to understand verbal instructions from humans, and perform subject to constraints from control and hardware limitations, uncertain localisation information, unpredictable and uncertain obstacles and environmental factors. We combine and evaluate the dialogue, navigation, flight control, depth perception and collision avoidance components. We discuss performance and limitations of our assistant at the component as well as the mission level. A 78% mission success rate was obtained over the course of 27 missions.
