Titel der Dissertation:
Biomimetic Computation and Embodied Embedded Cognition for Spatial Audition in Humanoids

Abstract:
Inspired by human behaviour, we propose an embodied embedded cognition approach to improve automatic speech recognition with robots under noisy conditions using binaural sound source localisation. Humanoids allow the generation of spatial cues in the entire audible range, without additional computational costs, and by simplifying existing biomimetic models for the extraction of spatial cues we are able to understand the principles that are important to increase accuracy. Our approach halves the sentence error rate in comparison to the standard approach of downmixing the input of both channels.
