A Robust Real-Time Sound Source Localization System for Olivia Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a robust real-time sound source localization system implemented on a social robot platform developed in Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore. The audio localization system provides the robot with auditory senses and enables the robot to direct its face to a speaker outside its frontal vision system. As the localization system exploits time difference of arrival (TDOA), the placement of the 8 microphone system array is crucial. This paper discusses the configuration and implementation of our system for the Olivia robot platform for accurate 3D localization under high babble noise condition.

Robust sound source localization using a microphone array on a mobile robot
The hearing sense on a mobile robot is impor. tan1 because it is omnidirectional and it does not require direct tine-of-sight with the sound source. Such capabilities can nicely complement vision to help localize a person or an interesting event in the environment. To do so the robot auditory system must he able to work in noisy, unknown and diverse environmental conditions. In this paper we pr...
متن کاملSound Source Localization for Real-World Humanoid Robots
In this paper we study the suitability and performance of conventional time delay of arrival estimation for humanoid robots. Moving away from simulated environments, we look at the influence of real-world robot's shape on the sound source localization. We present a TDOA/GCC based sound source localization method that successfully addresses this influence by utilizing a pre-measured set of TDOAs...
متن کاملReal-time Sound Source Localization for a Mobile Robot Based on the Guided Spectral-Temporal Position Method
Sound source localization based on a microphone array for mobile robots faces great challenges because of factors such as uncertainty of the robot’s movement, noise and reverberation, the requirements of a compact microphone array and so on. This paper studies a method for sound source localization in a dynamic environment using a cross‐microphone array plane, which c...
متن کاملApplying scattering theory to robot audition system: robust sound source localization and extraction
Robot audition by its own ears (microphones) is essential for natural human-robot communication and interface. Since a microphone is embedded in the head of a robot, the head-related transfer function (HRTF) plays an important role in sound source localization and extraction. Usually, from binaural input, the interaural phase difference (IPD) and interaural intensity difference (IID) are calcul...
متن کاملRobust localization and tracking of simultaneous moving sound sources using beamforming and particle filtering
Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize and track sound sources. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also provides enhanced processing for other capabilities such as speech recognition. To give this capability to a robot, the challenge is not only to localize simultaneous sound sources, but to track...
