1. INTRODUCTION

In the context of the burgeoning low-altitude economy and digital innovation, the design of police drones faces a profound challenge: striking a balance between "legible authority" and "perceived militarization." On one hand, their morphology, often indistinguishable from commercial drones, weakens the authority and deterrence essential for a law enforcement tool, creating a "techno-semantic imbalance." Physical form serves as a non-verbal medium for conveying intent and authority Simpson (2020), and current forms are rendered ineffective by their failure to communicate clear law enforcement symbols. On the other hand, public perception of drone applications is complex and contradictory St-Louis et al. (2024). Citizens require drones to exhibit necessary authority for critical missions like search and rescue, yet they are wary of any "militarized" appearance that could suggest excessive surveillance or incite community antagonism.

The root of this dilemma lies in the traditional "function-form mechanical superposition" design model, which neglects the profound impact of morphology on public psychology and social semantics, revealing a significant methodological gap. This paper, therefore, addresses a core question: How can the subjective affective needs of stakeholders (such as a sense of authority and non-threat) be systematically translated into objective, verifiable engineering specifications to design a responsible police drone that strikes a delicate balance between functionality, authority, and public acceptance?

To address this, the study poses three sub-questions:

1)    Need Identification and Classification (RQ1): What is the hierarchy of affective needs among police drone stakeholders, and how can the Kano model be utilized to classify and weight them?

2)    Need Translation and Specification (RQ2): How can these weighted affective needs be systematically translated into prioritized engineering specifications to resolve the "techno-semantic imbalance"?

3)    Design Validation and Evaluation (RQ3): To what extent can a prototype designed through this process be empirically verified to achieve preset semantic goals, such as being "authoritative but not aggressive"?

By integrating the Kano model, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and the Semantic Differential (SD) method, this paper proposes a data-driven, closed-loop design framework to answer these questions. It will detail the theoretical foundations, research methodology, empirical results, and theoretical and practical implications, concluding with a summary and outlook for future research.

 

2. Research Objectives

This study aims to address the "technology-semantics imbalance" in police drone design. Its core objective is to construct and validate an innovative "Affective-Functional-Morphological (AFM) Triadic Mapping Model." By integrating the Kano model, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and Semantic Differential (SD), this model systematically translates abstract affective needs into quantifiable engineering specifications. It ultimately verifies whether the design achieves the preset semantic goal of being "authoritative but not aggressive," thus forming a complete data-driven design loop.

     

3. Literature Review

This research is situated at the intersection of Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Value Sensitive Design (VSD), and Human-Drone Interaction (HDI).

First, regarding the translation of affective needs, integrating the Kano model Kano et al. (1984) into the QFD framework Hauser and Clausing (1988) is a common technique for optimizing the handling of non-linear user satisfaction. However, a significant challenge long associated with this integrated approach is the excessive subjectivity in weight assignment, which can compromise the objectivity of the translation results Ishak et al. (2020). This study builds upon this foundation by not only innovatively introducing the Semantic Differential method for back-end validation to achieve a closed loop from subjective feeling to engineering parameters Schütte et al. (2004) but, more importantly, by proposing a new weighting formula to address the subjectivity challenge, aiming to enhance the systematicity and objectivity of decision-making.

Second, in the realm of ethical value integration, while VSD provides a theoretical framework for embedding human values into technology Friedman et al. (2003), Van den Hoven (2013), the field has long faced a significant "operationalization gap." This gap refers to the difficulty of effectively translating abstract values like "fairness" or "privacy" into concrete, quantifiable, and verifiable technical specifications. The integrated framework proposed in this study offers a systematic solution to bridge this gap. It provides a clear path for quantifying and embedding ethical principles like "minimum necessary deterrence" into the design process, thus furnishing a practical methodology for responsible innovation Stilgoe et al. (2013).

Finally, HDI research confirms that drone morphology significantly influences public perception and acceptance Mirza et al. (2021), Wögerbauer et al. (2024). Furthermore, studies have shown that it is feasible to shape specific semantics (e.g., approachability) through design La et al. (2020), providing solid empirical support for the core hypothesis of this study.

 

3.1. Theoretical Foundation and Research Framework

This study is theoretically grounded in Kansei Engineering (KE), which aims to translate users' subjective affective impressions into objective design parameters Nagamachi (1995). To achieve a systematic operationalization of KE, an innovative integrated workflow was constructed. It begins by using the Kano model to move beyond the linear assumptions of user satisfaction, classifying and weighting the non-linear characteristics of needs to provide more precise inputs for the House of Quality (HoQ) in Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Hauser and Clausing (1988). QFD then translates these weighted needs into engineering characteristics with clear priorities. Finally, the Semantic Differential (SD) method Osgood et al. (1957) is employed to quantitatively evaluate the affective imagery of the prototype, thereby verifying the design output and closing the design loop.

This framework can also be viewed as an operational extension of Donald Norman's three levels of emotional design Norman (2004). Norman divides the design experience into visceral, behavioral, and reflective levels. This study's framework, through a data-driven approach, systematically maps high-level "reflective" goals (e.g., "embodying professional authority," a construct of social identity and meaning) to "visceral" design elements that elicit direct sensory experiences (e.g., a " Wedge angle," a visual form that evokes a sense of speed and power). The "behavioral" level of functional realization (e.g., effective law enforcement) serves to connect the two.

The primary innovation lies in the integration of three classic methods into a logically coherent, data-driven, closed-loop Kansei Engineering workflow Figure 1. The output of the Kano model serves as the input for QFD; the output of QFD guides prototype design; and the prototype is then validated through SD analysis. This framework aims to overcome the limitations of using a single method and to systematically execute KE principles. Based on this, the following hypotheses are proposed:

·        H1: The drone prototype designed using this framework will be perceived as significantly more "professional" and "authoritative" than commercial drones.

·        H2: The key design characteristics prioritized by the QFD process will significantly enhance the perceived deterrence of the prototype.

·        H3: The final prototype will achieve a balanced position on the "threatening-harmless" semantic dimension, with its deterrent effect situated between that of military and commercial drones, thereby validating the principle of "minimum necessary deterrence."

4. Research Methodology

This study employs a sequential, integrated mixed-methods framework combining Kano, QFD, and SD. Qualitative interview data on user affective needs are first quantified and ranked using the Kano model, then translated into engineering specifications via QFD, and finally, the resulting prototype's design imagery is empirically tested using the SD method to ensure a data-driven, closed-loop design process.

1)    Stage 1: Needs Hierarchy Analysis with the Kano Model

This stage aimed to identify and prioritize key affective needs for police drones. First, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 key stakeholders (front-line police officers, technical experts, and ordinary citizens) to collect operational pain points, functional expectations, and "affective vocabulary." Based on the interview findings, a Kano questionnaire was designed and distributed online to 400 participants selected through stratified sampling across five urban districts in Shanghai, yielding 385 valid responses. A standard Kano evaluation matrix was used to classify each design attribute (Attractive (A), One-dimensional/Performance (O), Must-be (M), Indifferent (I), and Reverse (R)), and Better-Worse coefficients were calculated to quantify their impact on satisfaction.

2)    Stage 2: Needs Translation and Technical Prioritization via QFD

Through Quality Function Deployment (QFD), the user affective needs identified in the first stage were translated into technical characteristics with clear priorities. When constructing the House of Quality (HoQ), the customer needs ("Whats") were assigned objective, data-driven weights using the Better-Worse coefficient method instead of subjective allocation. Based on the number of users who classified each attribute in the Kano questionnaire, the satisfaction improvement index (Better/SII) and dissatisfaction decrease index (Worse/DDI) were calculated. Combined with user self-rated importance (Imp), the final QFD weight was determined using the formula:

 

WQFD​ = Imp×max(SII,∣DDI∣)

 

This formula is designed to maximize the potential impact on user emotion during the exploratory design phase, prioritizing needs that have the greatest influence on user affect. After populating the HoQ with these weights, a cross-disciplinary team identified corresponding measurable engineering parameters ("Hows"), evaluated and filled the relationship matrix between "Whats" and "Hows," and assessed the correlation matrix among the parameters. Finally, matrix computations yielded the overall importance of each technical characteristic, providing a clear and objective priority ranking for technical development.

3)    Stage 3: Prototype Semantic Validation with the SD Method

Based on the QFD outputs, a prototype was designed and its effectiveness was validated from multiple dimensions, including semantics, functionality, and user acceptance. A 3D model was created focusing on the high-priority technical characteristics. Fifty participants were recruited to rate renderings of the prototype, a commercial drone, and a military drone using a 7-point bipolar adjective scale. Concurrently, 10 front-line police officers and 4 design and engineering experts used a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate the prototype's perceived professionalism, deterrent effect, and functional usability. Statistical tests were used to compare scores and validate the hypotheses, and the Likert scale data were analyzed. This study adhered to ethical guidelines; all participants provided informed consent, and all data were anonymized.

 

5. Research Results

This section objectively presents the core findings from the three-stage research methodology, reporting the empirical data from the analysis of user affective needs to the semantic positioning of the final prototype.

 

5.1. Strategic Insights into Needs: Kano Model Analysis

The Kano analysis of 385 questionnaires not only identified user needs but also revealed their non-linear value structure. The results show that some functions, such as flight stability and standard police livery, are "Must-be" attributes that users take for granted. Fulfilling them merely prevents dissatisfaction and does not create satisfaction. Other functions, such as endurance, are "Performance" attributes, where satisfaction is directly proportional to performance.

The most significant discovery in this stage was the identification of "Attractive" attributes that generate surprise and delight. "Bionic and dynamic form" and "modular payload interface" stood out in this category. This finding has crucial strategic implications: the breakthrough in design lies not merely in optimizing existing functions but in creating unanticipated, high-value experiences through innovative form language and functional extensibility. As shown in Figure 2, the strategic positioning of each need is clear, providing a data-driven priority order for subsequent design decisions.

Table 1

Table 1 Kano Attribute Classification and Better-Worse Coefficients for Key Police Drone Design Features
Feature	Attractive (A)	Perfor mance (O)	Must-be (M)	Indifferent (I)	Primary Attribute	Better Coefficient (Satisfaction)	Worse Coefficient (Dissatisfaction)
Basic Flight Stability	5.7%	26.2%	55.8%	11.7%	Must-be (M)	0.32	-0.85
High Endurance (>45 min)	11.7%	51.4%	28.0%	7.8%	Performance (O)	0.63	-0.80
Modular Payload Interface	40.3%	31.2%	14.3%	13.0%	Attractive (A)	0.71	-0.44
Bionic and Dynamic Form (e.g., eagle, shark)	46.8%	22.1%	5.2%	23.9%	Attractive (A)	0.69	-0.27
Red and Blue Pulse Warning Lights	15.6%	45.5%	32.5%	6.0%	Performance (O)	0.61	-0.78
Low-Noise Design	24.7%	41.6%	22.9%	10.4%	Performance (O)	0.66	-0.64
Standard Blue and White Police Livery	8.6%	38.4%	42.1%	10.4%	Must-be (M)	0.47	-0.81
Note: Data based on 385 valid questionnaires. A higher Better coefficient indicates greater potential to increase satisfaction. A higher absolute value for the Worse coefficient indicates more severe dissatisfaction if the feature is absent. Source: Author

5.2. Precise Design Navigation: QFD Prioritization

The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) matrix systematically translated the affectively weighted needs from the Kano analysis into specific, prioritized engineering characteristics. The core conclusion from this analysis is that the design focus should shift from a traditional competition over hardware performance to the deliberate shaping of a perceived image imbued with professional deterrence.

As shown in the House of Quality in Figure 3, "Visible Functional Modules," which strongly correlates with "Sense of Professionalism and Trust," received the highest engineering priority. This was closely followed by "Dynamic Shaping," which is tightly linked to the need for "Enhanced Deterrence." This signifies an important design paradigm shift: strengthening the drone's audiovisual symbolic elements (such as dynamic form, specialized modules, and lighting/sound equipment) is the most effective way to respond to users' core affective demands.

The "Technical Performance Importance" scores and "Ranking" at the bottom are the key outputs, quantifying the development priority of each technical characteristic and providing a clear, data-driven basis for subsequent design decisions.)             

 

5.3. Multi-dimensional Evaluation of the Prototype

Based on the engineering priorities established by QFD, a prototype was designed and fabricated. To eliminate potential confounding variables, all stimuli (the prototype, a commercial drone, and a military drone) were rendered in a consistent style. The prototype incorporated key elements such as a wedge-shaped fuselage, a silver-blue matte finish, and enhanced warning lights, aiming to achieve the preset semantic goal of being "professional, authoritative, but not overly threatening." Subsequent multi-dimensional evaluations confirmed the effectiveness of this design Figure 4.

(Figure 4 Caption: The 3D digital model and material rendering of this police drone were created using industrial design software, based on the technical parameters from Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and integrating multidisciplinary theories such as bionic design, product semantics, and engineering.)

1)    Successful Shaping of Semantic Imagery

The Semantic Differential (SD) evaluation Figure 5, Figure 6 reveals that the prototype projects a distinct semantic profile, significantly differentiating it from commercial and military drones. It is perceived as "professional" and "authoritative," which supports H1. Crucially, on the "perceived threat" dimension, the prototype strikes a delicate balance, positioned between aggressive military and benign commercial drones. This finding substantiates the ethical principle of "minimum necessary deterrence," as the design embodies a required law enforcement deterrent while avoiding an aggressive appearance that might provoke public anxiety, thereby supporting H3.

2)    Key Morphological Effects

To further validate the guiding role of QFD, a quantitative analysis of key morphological elements was conducted Figure 7. The results confirmed that the 22° wedge-shaped body was significantly superior to a flat design in shaping a sense of authority and deterrence. Similarly, the combination of sharp, angular lines and a dark matte finish had a much higher perceived deterrence than a combination of rounded lines and a light-colored finish. This provides robust support for H2, demonstrating that the framework can effectively identify and guide the key design decisions that truly impact user perception.

(Figure 7 Note: The bar chart displays the average scores of different design schemes on the "perceived deterrence" dimension. Error bars represent the standard error, and the significance level of the difference between groups is also indicated.)

3)    Expert and User Feedback

Finally, an evaluation panel consisting of 10 police officers and 4 design experts gave the prototype high marks. Over 80% of the officers believed the design "successfully combined professionalism with deterrence," awarding it high scores for "perceived professionalism" (4.6/5) and "deterrent effectiveness" (4.4/5). This positive feedback from end-users and domain experts provides the final qualitative confirmation of the entire design framework's effectiveness and practical value.

 

6. Conclusion

In response to the design challenge faced by sensitive equipment like police drones, which must balance functionality, deterrence, and public acceptance, this study successfully developed and validated an "Affective-Functional-Morphological" tripartite mapping model that integrates Kano, QFD, and SD methods. The core contribution of this research is twofold. Theoretically, it elevates abstract "affect" to a quantifiable design dimension alongside form and function, providing a new paradigm for professional equipment design. Practically, it offers a transparent, traceable, data-driven methodology and innovatively demonstrates how to operationalize ethical principles like "minimum necessary deterrence" into specific engineering constraints, providing a concrete and feasible solution for responsible technological innovation.

 

6.1. Deepening and Expanding Future Research

The findings of this study open several forward-looking avenues for future exploration:

 

1)    Theoretical Integration and Contextual Expansion: A key future direction is the deep integration of this framework with Affordance Theory to systematically investigate how different morphologies "afford" different behavioral interpretations, such as surveillance, assistance, or deterrence. This theoretical lens would be particularly crucial in specific community policing contexts, where the semantic design goal might shift from "deterrence" to "approachability" and "transparency." This could also lead to critical research on perceptual differences among diverse communities (e.g., varying by ethnicity or the history of police-community relations).

2)    Methodological Deepening and Innovation: To pursue greater scientific rigor, future research could be enhanced in two ways. First, within the framework, more sophisticated decision-making tools such as the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) or Conjoint Analysis could be introduced to optimize the objectivity of weight assignment. Second, in the validation phase, neuro-aesthetic methods like electroencephalography (EEG) or eye-tracking could be employed. These tools would capture subconscious affective responses through objective physiological indicators that go beyond subjective scales, pushing the research to the forefront of the field.

 

7. Discussions

This section delves into the theoretical, practical, and strategic implications of the research findings, aiming to elevate a strong study into a scholarly contribution with broader impact.

1)    Theoretical Contribution: Evolution of the "Affective-Functional-Morphological" Tripartite Mapping Model

The core theoretical contribution of this research is the proposal and validation of the "Affective-Functional-Morphological Tripartite Mapping Model" (AFM Model), which elevates user "affect" to a quantifiable design dimension on par with function and form. This model serves as a significant supplement and operational extension to Norman (2004) three levels of emotional design.

While Norman's model astutely delineates the visceral, behavioral, and reflective levels, scholars have noted that despite its powerful explanatory capacity, it lacks clear operational guidance on how to systematically bridge the gap between the high-level "reflective" plane (meaning, culture, self-image) and the low-level "visceral" plane (perception, appearance) Tractinsky (2018). The AFM model provides a tangible bridge for this gap. Through a structured tool like QFD, it explicitly maps abstract social meanings from the "reflective level" (e.g., "enhanced deterrence") onto specific morphological features that trigger "visceral level" perceptions (e.g., "a 22° fuselage wedge angle"). Table 2 This ability to translate abstract values into quantifiable engineering decisions operationally connects the value-transmission pathway in Norman's theory, offering an innovative paradigm for the design of high-perception professional equipment.

2)    Practical Implications: A Systematic Framework as a Value-Technology Translation Tool

This framework provides an operable implementation path for Value Sensitive Design (VSD) theory. VSD emphasizes the integration of human values into technological design Friedman et al. (2003) but has long faced the methodological challenge of translating abstract value principles into concrete technical specifications Van den Hoven (2013). This framework serves as a powerful tool that can efficiently and transparently translate preset values into technical specifications.

It must be clarified that this framework is not a tool for resolving the upfront "value negotiation and trade-offs" but focuses on the "last mile" problem within the VSD process - from "design principles" to "technical implementation." Once core values like "minimum necessary deterrence" are established through prior ethical deliberation, this framework provides a transparent, traceable, and data-driven method to systematically translate them into verifiable engineering specifications. This methodological contribution ensures that ethical considerations are not a mere "patch" applied late in the process but are instead a computable variable embedded in the core of the design. This is not only a concrete practice of responsible innovation Stilgoe et al. (2013) but also a response to ethical concerns about "persuasive technology," ensuring that design, while guiding public perception, avoids devolving into "dark patterns" that create unnecessary fear or anxiety Gray et al. (2018).

3)     Strategic Implications: The Design Framework as a Dynamic Strategic Management System

The value of this study's Kano-QFD-SD framework extends far beyond a single development cycle; it functions as a "dynamic strategic management system" for product iteration. The Kano model reveals the lifecycle evolution of user needs: today's "Attractive" attributes evolve into tomorrow's "Performance" attributes and eventually become "Must-be" attributes Shen et al. (2000).

An organization or agency can periodically apply this framework to track the migration paths of key user needs across different attribute categories. By comparing Kano diagrams over time, managers can clearly visualize market evolution and proactively allocate RandD resources to features that promise the highest marginal return on user satisfaction. This approach not only solves the problem of "how to design" a product but also answers the strategic question of "how it should evolve in the future," elevating design methodology to the level of strategic management.

4)    Psychological and Semiotic Interpretation of Form: The Underlying Mechanisms of Perceived Authority

The morphological effectiveness discovered in this study (e.g., the deterrent power of a wedge angle) is not an isolated phenomenon but is deeply rooted in the fundamental principles of Gestalt psychology and design semiotics. According to Gestalt psychology, sharp, angular shapes are subconsciously associated with concepts of threat and power (e.g., a predator's teeth); the "wedge angle" in this study leverages this cognitive mechanism to evoke a sense of authority. Concurrently, from a design semiotics perspective, the drone's sharp form is a powerful "signifier" that, through cultural encoding, points to "signified" concepts such as power, speed, and professionalism. The well-known "bouba/kiki effect" also corroborates, from a cross-modal cognition standpoint, the intrinsic link between sharpness and qualities like seriousness and precision. Therefore, this research contributes by revealing the cognitive and semiotic foundations behind effective design, deeply integrating engineering practice with principles of human cognition.
