[HTML][HTML] Localization of sound sources in robotics: A review

C Rascon, I Meza - Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2017 - Elsevier
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 …

A survey on sound source localization in robotics: From binaural to array processing methods

S Argentieri, P Danes, P Souères - Computer Speech & Language, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper attempts to provide a state-of-the-art of sound source localization in robotics.
