Project Abstract
In some disaster conditions, it is challenging for rescuers to carry out rescue missions, such as environment obstruction, dangerous condition and unable localizing victims. Yet, robots can aid humans in working these problems out. Due to the small size of mobile robots, which enables robots to move around narrow and cluttered environments flexibly and explore the unknown environment through visual and audio cues, conveying information back to headquarters for further rescue plans. The objectives of this research are bifold: 1) Comparison of sound source localization (SSL) methods Time of Arrival (TOA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), Direction of Arrival (DOA) and Steered Response Power (SRP) based upon diverse criterion and 2) Controlling a mobile robot through a raspberry pi to move towards a sound target.
