Binaural Systems in Robotics

摘要: Audition is often described by physiologists as the most important sense in humans, due to its essential role communication and socialization. But quite surprisingly, interest of this modality for robotics arose only 2000s, brought evidence cognitive Human–robot interaction. Since then, numerous contributions have been proposed field robot audition, ranging from sound localization scene analysis. Binaural approaches were investigated first, then became forsaken mixed results. Nevertheless, last years witnessed a renewal binaural active that is, opportunities challenges opened coupling sensing motion. This chapter proposes comprehensive state art audition. Though literature on audition and, more generally, acoustics signal processing, fundamental source knowledge, tasks, constraints, environments raise original issues. These are reviewed, prior prominent contributions, platforms projects. Two lines research conducted current authors, outlined, one which tightly connected psychology perception.
