Robotic Hearing Systems for Autonomous Vehicles

Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
Title: Building Ears for Robots: Machine Hearing in the Age of Autonomy
Abstract:
What does sounds mean to robots? How do we build ears for them? The field of robot hearing is increasingly important due to the deployment of service robots that can operate in uncertain environments. In this seminar, we first discuss the hardware design considerations of robot hearing systems in the context of robotaxi. Then a preliminary framework for robot hearing software is introduced based on the theory of probabilistic robotics.

But perhaps we can do better by ignoring the details and modeling the auditory system as a black box, via a deep neural network (DNN). We can train the model using data from psychoacoustic tests. Ignoring details like the basilar membrane transmission line, and inner and outer hair cells, and all sorts of brain structures, can a DNN provide a good enough model? Can we use these models to design auditory prosthetics?
