Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 28))

Summary

The problem of sound source separation and localization is a challenging task not commonly addressed in today’s humanoid robotics projects. Additional (prior to visual) spatial auditory information is required to control humanoid head’s attention more accurately. This is done in order to augment human-robot interaction. Humanoid head robot operates in noisy, dynamic environment. System capable of handling random noise in order to separate sound sources, and localize them in robot’s coordinate system is presented.
