| Abstract(in English) | A simple speaker-direction detection method based on the close-and-distance microphone combination was proposed in our last report. In this paper, we extend the approach to handle speaker's sequential utterances. The robot roughly estimates the speaker direction using the first word and begins to move. Quick response is promising for such interactive robots. After that, the direction is finely detected using more utterances. Experiments show that the proposed method effectively improves the direction detection accuracy from 69% to 98% after ten word utterances. |
