Sound Source Distance Estimation Utilizing Physics-informed Prior for Sound Event Localization and Detection

ICASSP 2025accepted

Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD) is the combined task of detecting sound events and estimating their spatial locations. We propose a Sound source Distance Estimation (SDE) method for SELD that utilizes a physics-informed prior. The conventional data-driven approach of SDE for SELD can h…

Spatial Annotation-free Training for Sound Event Localization and Detection

ICASSP 2025accepted

Sound Event Localization and Detection (SELD) is the task of estimating the class, duration, and direction of arrival (DOA) of sound events. State-of-the-art SELD systems use a data-driven approach based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to deal with complex situations involving overlapping and moving…

Fabrication of "18 Weave" Muscles and Their Application to Soft Power Support Suit for Upper Limbs Using Thin McKibben Muscle

RA-L 2019

In this letter, we propose a novel active weave named “18 Weave” using a thin McKibben muscle and report on the application to a prototype soft power support suit for the upper limb. The active weave utilizes the flexibility of the thin McKibben muscle, which is used for warps and wefts. From the pr
