Conclusion

Our results demonstrate REAL can recover the speech signal by exploiting the back-scattered intensities from vibrating surfaces. With strong resistance to acoustic noise and the ability to collect specific audio signals over long distances, REAL provides a feasible solution to tackle the cocktail party problem in the optical channel. It is demonstrated that REAL could direct ‘hear’ the voices from masks and throats in a noisy environment, where the noise characteristics are fully considered in the hardware and the neural networks could help in signal recovery. Further work could include utilizing additional sensing modalities to enhance the overall detection accuracy such as the audio-visual cues and microphone array. With the high signal quality, simple construction, affordability and miniaturization readiness, we anticipate the REAL system will foster a new way in human-robot interaction, benefiting applications in speaker identification, speech understanding and accelerating the development of voice-guided home and field robots.
