The risk of falls in older adults restrict their social life and independent living. The assisted
living devices help older adults to live independently in their home, giving a psychological …

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 …

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 …

Many animal species are detected primarily by sound. Although songs, calls and other
sounds are often used for population assessment, as in bird point counts and hydrophone …

Existing indoor positioning methods for visible-light communication systems require large
database, powerful signal processing units, additional sensors, such as gyroscopes, or the …

In distributed meeting applications, microphone arrays have been widely used to capture
superior speech sound and perform speaker localization through sound source localization …

It is known that adverse environments such as high reverberation and low signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) pose a great challenge to indoor sound source localization (SSL). To address …

We present a novel unsupervised fall detection system that employs the collected acoustic
signals (footstep sound signals) from an elderly person׳ s normal activities to construct a …

<? Pub Dtl=""?> A source signal will be subject to different amounts of time-delay as well as
attenuation when it reaches a number of spatially separated sensors. Both time-delay and …

Falling is a common health problem for elderly. It is reported that more than one third of
adults 65 and older fall each year in the United States. To address the problem, we are …
