A Binaural Sound Localization System for Mobile Robots in Low-reflecting Environments

This paper presents a biologically inspired binaural sound localization model for autonomous mobile robots. It mainly focusses on the technical realisation of the neural networks of the superior olivary complex, which extract binaural cues. The system is able to localize one acoustic source in the field of view of the robot in a low-reflecting environment on the basis of interaural time and level differences. The possibility of sound localization improves the spatial cognition of the robot within the surrounding area to be more humanlike.
