Abstract

This paper describes the use of auditory occupancy grids (AOGs) for mapping of a mobile robot's acoustic environment. An AOG is a probabilistic map of sound source locations generated from multiple measurements using probabilistic robotics and sound localization techniques. The mapping is simulated and then successfully implemented on a three-microphone mobile robot with four sound sources. Using the robot's inherent advantage of mobility, the AOG correctly locates the sound sources from only a few measurements.
