title: Special Issue on Robot Audition Technologies
abstract: Robot audition, the ability of a robot to listen to several things at once with its own “ears,” is crucial to the improvement of interactions and symbiosis between humans and robots. Since robot audition was originally proposed and has been pioneered by Japanese research groups, this special issue on robot audition technologies of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics covers a wide collection of advanced topics studied mainly in Japan. Specifically, two consecutive JSPS Grants-in-Aid for Scie
