Purely auditory Online-adaptation of auditory-motor maps

We present a system for an online-adaptation of auditory-motor maps that doesn´t require a special set-up or dedicated robot movements and can therefore work during the normal operation of the robot. Our approach is based purely on auditory cues and motor position feedback for estimating the correct sound source position. The system can learn the correct auditory-motor map within 1-2 hours, starting from a random initialization, in a room with an active radio as the main sound source.
