Robot sound source search strategy based on multi-blackboard model

A sound source search strategy composed of robot hearing and vision is proposed. Search strategy is designed on the basis of multi-blackboard model; multi-blackboard system is composed of sound source searching blackboard and sound source confirming blackboard, control mechanism can coordinate the work to realize sound source search task. The system was tested in room environment, experiment results show that the robot is capable of searching and confirming the sound source. The method is proved efficient and practical enough for real-time operation.
