    User study on haptic forces on a joystick that help with steering a drone

    Drawing of a participant from behind at a table. The participant holds a joystick with force feedback in the right hand. On the screen in front of them, a drone flies between circular obstacles towards a goal. A blue arrow at the joystick and one at the drone show the force that pushes away from the nearest obstacle.
