Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper addresses robot audition, which realizes listening capabilities for robots using robot-embedded microphones. For robot audition, we propose real-time sound source separation and automatic speech recognition (ASR) techniques for dynamically changing environments based on microphone array processing, which is applicable to hands-free ASR under highly-noisy environments. Implementation of the proposed techniques is open-sourced as robot audition software called HARK. We show the effectiveness of these techniques through applications of HARK to robots.
