The development of an android with convincingly lifelike appearance and behavior has
been a long-standing goal in robotics, and recent years have seen great progress in many of …

The humanoid robot head plays an important role in the emotional expression of human-
robot interaction (HRI). They are emerging in industrial manufacturing, business reception …

This paper proposes an environmental sound segmentation method using Mask U-Net. In
recent years, human–robot interactions, especially speech dialogue, have been assessed …

This paper addresses the problem of 2D sound source localization using multiple
microphone arrays in an outdoor environment. Two main issues exist in such localization …

The enhancement of human senses electronically is possible when pervasive computers
interact unnoticeably with humans in ubiquitous computing. The design of computer user …

This paper presents an autonomous conversational mobile robot Butsukusa that can
describe its own observations and internal states during patrolling tasks. The proposed robot …

In order to solve the problems of current hearing aid devices, we make use of environment
sensor network, and propose a hearing support system, where individual target and anti …

Drone audition techniques are helpful for listening to target sound sources from the sky,
which can be used for human searching tasks in disaster sites. Among many techniques …

For robot and drone auditions, microphone arrays have been used for estimating sound
source directions and sound source locations. By using sound source localization …

Human-robot interaction (HRI) in human social environments (HSEs) poses unique
challenges for robot perception systems, which must combine asynchronous …
