This robot uses lasers to ‘listen’ to its environment

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A new technology from researchers at Carnegie Mellon University will add sound and vibration awareness to create truly context-aware
computing
Interaction Institute
Plus, we can transform and project them into hundreds of different variations, creating volumes of data perfect for training deep-learning
sounds are often present and can interfere with each other
applications
Better microphones, higher sampling rates and different model architectures all might increase accuracy with further research.In a separate
paper, HCII Ph.D
student Yang Zhang, along with Laput and Harrison, describe what they call Vibrosight, which can detect vibrations in specific locations in
a room using laser vibrometry
It is similar to the light-based devices the KGB once used to detect vibrations on reflective surfaces such as windows, allowing them to
listen in on the conversations that generated the vibrations.This system uses a low-power laser and reflectors to sense whether an object is
on or off or whether a chair or table has moved
The sensor can monitor multiple objects at once and the tags attached to the objects use no electricity
This would let a single laser monitor multiple objects around a room or even in different rooms, assuming there is line of sight.The
