A bio-inspired feature extraction for robust speech recognition

In this paper, a feature extraction method for robust speech recognition in noisy environments is proposed. The proposed method is motivated by a biologically inspired auditory model which simulates the outer/middle ear filtering by a low-pass filter and the spectral behaviour of the cochlea by the Gammachirp auditory filterbank (GcFB). The speech recognition performance of our method is tested...

Complex Taxis-Behaviour in a Novel Bio-Inspired Robot Controller

In swarm robotics, robots with only poor computational equipment are often used. Additionally, the precision of their actuators and sensors is rather poor. This causes a challenge in the construction of controllers able to achieve complex behaviors on such robotic systems. Here we describe a novel bio-inspired concept of a robot control paradigm, which is inspired by the information-processing ...

Evolving a Novel Bio-inspired Controller in Reconfigurable Robots

Evolutionary robotics uses evolutionary computation to optimize physically embodied agents. We present here a framework for performing off-line evolution of a pluripotent robot controller that manages to form multicellular robotic organisms from a swarm of autonomously moving small robot modules. We describe our evolutionary framework, show first results and discuss the advantages and disadvant...

A comprehensive evaluation of re-circulated bio-filter as a pretreatment process for petroleum refinery wastewater.

Conventional biological treatment process is not very efficient for the treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) that contains high-concentration of organic contaminants. Prior to biological treatment, an additional pretreatment process for PRW is required for the effluent to meet the discharge standards. While re-circulated bio-filter (RBF) has been applied as a pretreatment process in...
