Microphone array signal processing for robot audition [PDF]
2017 Hands-free Speech Communications and Microphone Arrays (HSCMA), 2017 Robot audition for humanoid robots interacting naturally with humans in an unconstrained real-world environment is a hitherto unsolved challenge. The recorded microphone signals are usually distorted by background and interfering noise sources (speakers) as well as room reverberation.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

An Autonomous Robot-Aided Auditing Scheme for Floor Cleaning [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Cleaning is an important factor in most aspects of our day-to-day life. This research work brings a solution to the fundamental question of “How clean is clean” by introducing a novel framework for auditing the cleanliness of built infrastructure using mobile robots.

Robotic Process Automation for the Extraction of Audit Information: A Use Case [PDF]
Current Issues in Auditing, 2021 SUMMARY The reconciliation of audit evidence to the audit subject matter is a key and recurring audit procedure. Before reconciling information, data needs to be extracted from the audit subject matter, which is often in a Portable Document Format (PDF).
