Robot Sound Interpretation: Combining Sight and Sound in Learning-Based Control
We explore the interpretation of sound for robot decision making, inspired by human speech comprehension. While previous methods separate sound processing unit and robot controller, we propose an end-to-end deep neural network which directly interprets sound commands for visual-based decision making. The network is trained using reinforcement learning with auxiliary losses on the sight and sound networks. We demonstrate our approach on two robots, a TurtleBot3 and a Kuka-IIWA arm, which hear a command word, identify the associated target object, and perform precise control to reach the target. For both robots, we show the effectiveness of our network in generalization to sound types and robotic tasks empirically. We successfully transfer the policy learned in simulator to a real-world TurtleBot3.
