Using ears, not just eyes, improves robot perception
Aug 14, 2020 (Nanowerk News) People rarely use just one sense to understand the world, but robots usually only rely on vision and, increasingly, touch. Carnegie Mellon University researchers find that robot perception could improve markedly by adding another sense: hearing. In what they say is the first large-scale study...
