We suggest that the influence of biology in ‘biologically inspired robotics’ can be embraced at a deeper level than is typical, if we adopt an enactive approach that moves the focus of interest from how problems are solved to how problems emerge in the ...

Design of robust two-dimensional polynomial beamformers as a convex optimization problem with application to robot audition [PDF]
We propose a robust two-dimensional polynomial beamformer design method, formulated as a convex optimization problem, which allows for flexible steering of a previously proposed data-independent robust beamformer in both azimuth and elevation direction ...

Acoustic simultaneous localization and mapping (A-SLAM) of a moving microphone array and its surrounding speakers [PDF]
Acoustic scene mapping creates a representation of positions of audio sources such as talkers within the surrounding environment of a microphone array.

Binaural Range Finding from Synthetic Aperture Computation as the Head is Turned
A solution to binaural direction finding described in Tamsett (Robotics 2017, 6(1), 3) is a synthetic aperture computation (SAC) performed as the head is turned while listening to a sound.

From Vision Sensor to Actuators, Spike Based Robot Control through Address-Event-Representation [PDF]
One field of the neuroscience is the neuroinformatic whose aim is to develop auto-reconfigurable systems that mimic the human body and brain. In this paper we present a neuro-inspired spike based mobile robot.

HRTF-based two-dimensional robust least-squares frequency-invariant beamformer design for robot audition [PDF]
In this work, we propose a two-dimensional Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF)-based robust beamformer design for robot audition, which allows for explicit control of the beamformer response for the entire three-dimensional sound field surrounding a ...

Integration of a voice recognition system in a social robot [PDF]
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) 1 is one of the main fields in the study and research of robotics. Within this field, dialog systems and interaction by voice play a very important role.
