Subject: Proposal of Innovative Session on Robot Audition at IROS 2015 From: Sylvain Argentieri <sylvain.argentieri@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 15:52:53 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_49E00601-BA2A-4E96-954C-77B055975F24 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear Colleagues, Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this = announcement. We plan to have the 1st innovative session of robot audition at the = International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2015) = in Hamburg, Germany (September 28 - October 3). This innovative session = focuses more on applications of robot audition compared to organized = sessions which had been held at IROS 2004-2013. The innovative session on robot audition at least includes the following = topics: * Computational sustainability: analysis of and monitoring bird voice, = frog chorus, daily sound, and big sound/multi-modal data * Disastrous Environments & Rescue: sound-based rescue robots like UAVs = and hose robots, and audio sensor network * Cyberphysical systems: car and mobile phone applications, ICT systems = integrated with robot audition * Human Robot Interaction: service robots, entertainment robots, music = robots, multimodal interaction systems, dialog systems, robots for ASD = children * Auditory Interfaces for the Disabled and Elderly: hearing-aid = devices, computational modeling of audition, smart sensors in classroom, = monitoring system for the elderly As far as practical applications are considered, related keywords of the = above topics are as follows: * sound source localization * sound source tracking * sound source separation * automatic speech recognition * pitch extraction * noise reduction * dereverberation * music recognition * music robot * music interaction with robot * sound classification & identification * dialog control and systems * language acquisition * speech understanding * computational auditory scene analysis * multi-modal integration * system integration * active audition * microphone array processing * sound map generation/sound-based SLAM * sound/speech-based human-robot interaction * software environment for robot audition * sound visualization * embedded hardware system * any other audio related topics We believe that the innovative session stimulates this research area to = move onto the next stage in order to contribute to the robotics society = more with fruitful discussions. If you are interested in presenting your paper in this innovative = session, please send the following information (you can change the = information on your paper submission.) by Jan 12, 2015 to = nakadai_at_jp.honda-ri.com <http://ri.com/> (_at_ should be replaced = with @xxxxxxxx). * paper title(s)=20 * author(s) and affiliation(s) After our proposal for this innovative session is accepted, we will send = instructions for submission. Then, you can submit your paper to the = innovative session paper submission area via Paperplaza by Mar 1, 2015. = The review process and schedule will be the same as those of regular = papers.
