2 Introduction CIFRE thesis. Co-direction : Patrick Pirim, Brain Vision Systems Bruno Gas, ISIR, UPMC Alain de Cheveigné, LPP, Paris Descartes Outline Artificial auditory system for sound localization, Audio-tactile model for texture recognition, Active audition and sensorimotor integration. 2/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

3 Autonomous robotics Psikharpax, the robot rat 3/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

4 Artificial auditory system Bioinspired sound localization Outer ear Outer ear Inner ear Inner ear Binaural localiation cues ITD - ILD Auditory model Implementation robot sound capture core library real time - c++ standalone programs wav files robotic simulation simulated sound sources 4/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

5 Outer ear model Pinna Auditory fovea Microphone Oriented toward the fovea Support Servomotor Outer ear = Pinna, microphone and software capture. Spectral and directional cues. 5/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

6 Inner ear model (1/2) Inner ear = cochlear model and pulse train generation. Cochlear model Gammatone filterbank Usually 30 channels from 300Hz to 8kHz at 20kHz 6/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

7 Inner ear model (2/2) Inner ear = cochlear model and pulse train generation. Pulse train generation Cochlear channel output Pulse train Discrete representation, noise suppression. A pulse = temporal and amplitude information. 7/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

8 ILD computation (1/2) Energy for each pulse p(t), the energy is : E(t) = u=t u=t T p(u) 2 (1) 8/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

9 ILD computation (2/2) ILD = Interaural Level Difference For each channel i : ILD i (t) = 2E left,i (t) E left,i (t)+e right,i (t) 1 9/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

10 ITD computation (1/3) ITD = Onset extraction and delay lines. Onset extraction from a pulse train Comparison with a dynamic threashold, 2 parameters. 10/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

18 Sensorimotor Approach (1/3) Environment state e E and motor state m M, Sensory state s S, we have s = Φ(m, e), Φ is called a sensorimotor law. 18/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

19 Sensorimotor Approach (2/3) Quand on dit [...] que nous localisons tel objet en tel point de l espace [...] cela signifie simplement que nous nous représentons les mouvements qu il faut faire pour atteindre cet objet. [...] Nous nous représentons les sensations musculaires qui accompagnent [ces mouvements] et qui n ont aucun caractère géométrique, qui par conséquent n impliquent nullement la préexistance de la notion d espace. H. Poincaré, L espace et la géométrie, Proposed formalization for localization Find the motor state m such as m = argmin Φ(m, e) Φ(m 0, e 0 ). m M 19/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration

20 Sensorimotor Approach (3/3) Sound source localization Two ways for m estimation Orienting behavior After completion we have m = m end s end = Φ(m end, e) = Φ(m 0 + δm, e 0 + δe), Manifold learning Sensory space S lies on a low-dim manifold R, Dimension reduction technique : S R, Same topology as the embodying space (at least locally). 20/27 Mathieu Bernard - ISIR - BVS Active Audition and Sensorimotor Integration
