NAVISP INDUSTRY DEVELOPS SENSE OF HEARING FOR MOBILE ROBOTS. PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR EL2-055 “SOUND MONITOR FOR AUTONOMOUS MACHINES (SMAM)"

Why are our robots and autonomous vehicles deaf? 
 
The more comprehensive understanding of the environment the autonomous vehicle has, the more reliable its navigation is. Mobile robots need sound and vibration sensing to cope in the real-world with a complex and dynamic environment: all senses are required for safe and productive operation. 
 
The first take of the NAVISP EL2-055 project "Satellite Data and Audio Signals as enablers for autonomous mobile work machines (SMAM)", in the development of new senses for the work machinery, includes:

• Detection of emergency vehicles
• Enhanced external soundscape
• Map/track matching of sound-emitting objects
• Obstacle detection

 
This activity has led to the development and demonstration of  MAX™ - Meluta Advanced eXecution platform , which brings intelligent sound sensing and detection for remote-operated or fully autonomous work machines.
 
It is a flexible demonstration platform used to introduce and gain interest in sound and vibration sensing possibilities. New sensors and new algorithms will be added onto this platform that is designed to be evolved.
The project was carried out by Meluta in Finland, in the frame of NAVISP Element 2, which is devoted to supporting competitiveness of European industries.
