However, there is relatively little work in robotics on the use of acoustic signals for scene understanding or analysis. There has been some work over the last two decades on robot audition and machine hearing, the goal of which is to improve human-robot interactions and scene navigation. Thanks to recent advances in deep learning and acoustic sensing, robots and computers have been improved considerably in terms of human speech understanding and interpreting other acoustic signals. However, these developments are mainly limited to direct sound signals in simple settings (e.g., a living room) or near-field speech recognition. In this context, we will cover the following topics: - Interactive sound propagation technologies Localization applications for drone and underwater robots - Deep learning techniques for multi-party interactions and simultaneous talkers - Real-time localization techniques considering non line of sight wave effects (diffraction) - Joint optimizations between SLAM and acoustic approaches. - Audio-motor localization, etc. Abstract submission We invite participants to submit extended abstracts (max 2 pages) related to the workshop's topics of interest. Accepted submissions are expected to be presented in a brief spotlight talk (2-3 min) and a subsequent poster session (about 20-30 min). The accepted contributions will be posted on the workshop website but they will not appear in the official IEEE proceedings. Contributors may also request that their manuscripts not appear on the website. The reviewing will be made by the organizers and invited speakers of the workshop. The manuscripts should use the IEEE ICRA two-column format, and a PDF copy of the manuscript should be submitted to: Please submit your papers via email to sungeui@xxxxxxxx Important Dates Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2019 Author notification: April 15, 2019 Camera-ready submission: May 6, 2019 Workshop date: May 23 or 24, 2019 Invited speakers - Dinesh Manocha, IEEE/ACM/AAAI Fellow, Professor at Univ.
