  • Drone Helps Find Victims Needing Rescue in Disasters
    PRESS RELEASE Sources: Tokyo Institute of Technology Kumamoto University Waseda University International Rescue System Institute Japan Science & Technology Agency (JST) Program Cabinet Office, Government of Japan For immediate release: December 20, 2017 Subject line: “Listening” drone helps find victims needing rescue in disasters (Tokyo, December 20) As part of the ImPACT Tough Robotics Challenge Program1, an initiative of the Cabinet Office of Japan, a Japanese research group has developed the first system worldwide that is able to detect acoustic signals such as voices from victims needing rescue, even when they are difficult to find or are in places cameras cannot be used. This system was developed using three technological elements: a microphone array technology2 for the “robot ears,” an interface for visualization of invisible sounds, and a microphone array that is easily connected to a drone, even in rainy weather. Figure 1. A simulated disaster victim in need of rescue is found among rubble (clay pipe) via audio (the voices and the whistles) Blue circles on the map (top right) indicate the detected sound source locations. https://youtu.be/xsD4saM6vFo Background “Robot audition” is a research area that was proposed to the world by Adjunct Professor Kazuhiro Nakadai of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Professor Hiroshi G. Okuno of Waseda University in 2000. Until then, robots had not been able to recognize voices unless a microphone was near a person’s mouth. Research to construct “robot ears” began advancing under the idea that robots, like humans, should hear sound with their own ears. The entry barrier for this research area was high since it involves a combination of signal processing, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
