| Abstract |
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic
sensors in human‐robot communication is
investigated. In particular, a Non‐Audible Murmur
(NAM) microphone was applied in tele‐operating the
Geminoid HI‐1 robot in noisy environments. The
current study introduces the methodology and the
results of speech intelligibility subjective tests when a
NAM microphone was used in comparison with using
a standard microphone. The results show the
advantage of using a NAM microphone when the
operation takes place in adverse environmental
conditions. In addition, the effect of Geminoid’s lip
movements on speech intelligibility is also
investigated. Subjective speech intelligibility tests
show that the operator’s speech can be perceived with
higher intelligibility scores when the operator’s audio
speech is perceived along with the lip movements of
robots. |
