Abstract
It is essential for social robots to be able to locate
and direct attention towards communicating persons, however
the operating environments can be challenging. When using
sound source localization (SSL) acoustic noise sources can distract
the robot, which interrupts the desired interaction with people.
Since the noise sources can be of many different kinds, it is
important for the robot to adapt to any environment. In this
paper we present a simple strategy for a robot to adapt to
the environment using feedback from a face detection routine,
thus eventually only directing attention towards humans. Four
experiments with different noise types and different strategies
for using feedback from face detection show the effectiveness of
the proposed strategy.
