Robotic Process Automation for Auditing [PDF]
Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting, 2018 ABSTRACT The advent of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has the potential to disrupt the traditional audit model. With its capability to automate rules-based tasks that are repetitive and manual, RPA is expected to repurpose the role of the auditor by replacing perfunctory tasks and emphasizing higher order thinking skills that will ...

The adoption of robotics in the auditing profession
SA Journal of Information Management, 2022 Background: The auditing profession has been burdened with high costs and reputational damage resulting from false results because of a high dependency on manual tasks susceptible to errors or manipulation. Automating repetitive tasks with the use of robots can help minimise these errors to achieve efficiencies and cost reduction.

Robust Robotic Pouring using Audition and Haptics [PDF]
2020 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2020 Robust and accurate estimation of liquid height lies as an essential part of pouring tasks for service robots. However, vision-based methods often fail in occluded conditions while audio-based methods cannot work well in a noisy environment. We instead propose a multimodal pouring network (MP-Net) that is able to robustly predict liquid height by ...

Live assessment of beat tracking for robot audition [PDF]
2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2012 In this paper we propose the integration of an online audio beat tracking system into the general framework of robot audition, to enable its application in musically-interactive robotic scenarios. To this purpose, we introduced a staterecovery mechanism into our beat tracking algorithm, for handling continuous musical stimuli, and applied different ...

Motor data-regularized nonnegative matrix factorization for ego-noise suppression
EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2020 Ego-noise, i.e., the noise a robot causes by its own motions, significantly corrupts the microphone signal and severely impairs the robot’s capability to interact seamlessly with its environment.

Acoustic SLAM Based on the Direction-of-Arrival and the Direct-to-Reverberant Energy Ratio
Drones, 2023 This paper proposes a new method that fuses acoustic measurements in the reverberation field and low-accuracy inertial measurement unit (IMU) motion reports for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

The Parameter-Less Self-Organizing Map algorithm [PDF]
, 2005 The Parameter-Less Self-Organizing Map (PLSOM) is a new neural network algorithm based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). It eliminates the need for a learning rate and annealing schemes for learning rate and neighbourhood size.
