In this paper, an overview of human–robot interactive communication is presented, covering
verbal as well as non-verbal aspects. Following a historical introduction, and motivation …

Sound source localization (SSL) in a robotic platform has been essential in the overall
scheme of robot audition. It allows a robot to locate a sound source by sound alone. It has an …

In this work, a multiple sound source localization and counting method is presented, that
imposes relaxed sparsity constraints on the source signals. A uniform circular microphone …

Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize and track sound
sources. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the …

This paper attempts to provide a state-of-the-art of sound source localization in robotics.
Noticeably, this context raises original constraints—eg embeddability, real time, broadband …

In this paper, we present an occupant localization approach through sensing footstep-
induced floor vibrations. Occupant location information is an important part of many smart …

Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to sound direction-of-arrival
estimation under challenging conditions. However, such a learning-based approach …

Human activity recognition is a key component for socially enabled robots to effectively and
naturally interact with humans. In this paper we exploit the fact that many human activities …

We propose a system that gives a mobile robot the ability to separate simultaneous sound
sources. A microphone array is used along with a real-time dedicated implementation of …

This paper reports an initial field trial with a prototype of a semiautonomous communication
robot at a train station. We developed an operator-requesting mechanism to achieve …
