Research Overview 연구 개요

The goal is to enable robots to understand all real-world sensory information (vision, hearing, touch) and take appropriate actions. Research focuses on robot audition (sound source localization, speech separation, ASR), multimodal embodied AI, and sensory perception.

로봇이 실세계의 모든 감각 정보(시각, 청각, 촉각)를 이해하고 적절한 행동을 취할 수 있도록 하는 것이 목표입니다. 로봇 청각(음원 위치 추정, 음성 분리, 음성 인식), 멀티모달 체화 AI, 감각 인지 분야를 연구합니다.
