In this paper, we present an active audition system for humanoid robot “SIG the humanoid”. The audition system of the highly intelligent humanoid requires localization of sound sources and identification of meanings of the sound in the auditory scene. The active audition reported in this paper focuses on improved sound source tracking by integrating audition, vision, and motor movements. Given ...

abstract   introduction: the purpose of present research was the study of the effect of sensory feedback on speed of the relative phase transition in anti-phase bimanual coordination pattern across old adults. materials and methods: therefore 15 intact male old adults selected in available with age range 60-70 years that were all of them hand-right. participants started their movement on bimanu...

This chapter addresses machine audition and natural audition by carefully analyzing the difficulties and roles of audition in real-world conditions. The reason for this focus is my experience with the development of a verbal aggression detection system (van Hengel and Andringa, 2007). This system was first deployed in 2004 and 2005 in the inner city of Groningen (the Netherlands), by the abStract

This paper addresses robot audition, which realizes listening capabilities for robots using robot-embedded microphones. For robot audition, we propose real-time sound source separation and automatic speech recognition (ASR) techniques for dynamically changing environments based on microphone array processing, which is applicable to hands-free ASR under highly-noisy environments. Implementation ...
