ICRA 2019 Workshop on Sound Source Localization and Its Applications for Robots
https://sglab.kaist.ac.kr/SSL_ICRA19/May 23, 2019
Montreal, Canada
Submission deadline: April 1, 2019
============================================================
Acoustic signals are ubiquitous, and both humans and animals utilize
them for understanding surrounding environments and for performing
various interactions. However, there is relatively little work in
robotics on the use of acoustic signals for scene understanding or
analysis. There has been some work over the last two decades on robot
audition and machine hearing, the goal of which is to improve
human-robot interactions and scene navigation. Thanks to recent
advances in deep learning and acoustic sensing, robots and computers
have been improved considerably in terms of human speech understanding
and interpreting other acoustic signals. However, these developments
are mainly limited to direct sound signals in simple settings (e.g., a
living room) or near-field speech recognition.
In this context, we will cover the following topics:
- Interactive sound propagation technologies Localization applications
for drone and underwater robots
- Deep learning techniques for multi-party interactions and simultaneous talkers
- Real-time localization techniques considering non line of sight wave
effects (diffraction)
- Joint optimizations between SLAM and acoustic approaches.
- Audio-motor localization, etc.
Abstract submission
We invite participants to submit extended abstracts (max 2 pages)
related to the workshop's topics of interest. Accepted submissions are
expected to be presented in a brief spotlight talk (2-3 min) and a
subsequent poster session (about 20-30 min). The accepted
contributions will be posted on the workshop website but they will not
appear in the official IEEE proceedings. Contributors may also request
that their manuscripts not appear on the website. The reviewing will
be made by the organizers and invited speakers of the workshop. The
manuscripts should use the IEEE ICRA two-column format, and a PDF copy
of the manuscript should be submitted to:
