  Drone swarms are teams of autonomous un-manned aerial vehicles that act as a
collective entity. We are interested in humanizing drone swarms, equipping them
with the ability to emotionally affect human users through their non-verbal
motions. Inspired by recent findings in how observers are emotionally touched
by watching dance moves, we investigate the questions of whether and how
coordinated drone swarms' motions can achieve emotive impacts on general
audience. Our preliminary study on Amazon Mechanical Turk led to a number of
interesting findings, including both promising results and challenges.
