Animal Vocalization Analysis and Synthesis

, 2014
This Master’s thesis focuses on the unexplored domain of animal vocalizations. In the present work Lemur (madagascarian mammal) vocalizations are studied and analysed in order to create a system that can process and train datasets and posteriorly synthesize vocalizations. To achieve the goal the technique of Hidden Markov Models based synthesis is used

Speech-induced suppression and vocal feedback sensitivity in human cortex

eLife
Across the animal kingdom, neural responses in the auditory cortex are suppressed during vocalization, and humans are no exception. A common hypothesis is that suppression increases sensitivity to auditory feedback, enabling the detection of vocalization

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
