Abstract

This paper presents the extension of auditory occupancy grids (AOGs) to three dimensions, to map the acoustic environment around a mobile robot. The three-dimensional AOGs are able to locate four sound sources in three-dimensions using four microphones and only nine measurements along the bottom plane of the workspace. Comparative robustness tests show that the three-dimensional AOGs are nearly identically as robust to source location as two-dimensional AOGs.
