Abstract:
In this paper, we develop robot auditory system including speaker recognition, sound source localization, and speech enhancement based on circular microphone array for home service robots. These techniques are concerned with audio-based Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) that can naturally interact between human and robot through audio information obtained from microphone array and multi-channel sound board. The robot platform used in this study is wever, which is a network-based intelligent home service robot. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the presented audio-based HRI components from the constructed speaker and sound localization database.
