JI professor proposes new acoustic sensors for superior human-machine interaction

The University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (UM-SJTU JI, JI hereafter) Associate Professor Lei Shao and his collaborators have published a research article titled “A wave-confining metasphere beamforming acoustic sensor for superior human-machine voice interaction” in Science Advances,  a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary open-access scientific journal run by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The article proposes a new acoustic sensor for human-machine interaction (HMI) to distinguish and track multiple sound sources in a noisy background, with an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a superior sensitivity at the same time.
