Autonomously motile device with acoustic echo cancellation

Abstract:

A device capable of motion includes an acoustic echo canceller for cancelling a reference signal from received audio data. The device updates an adaptive filter as the device moves to reflect the changing audio channel between a loudspeaker and a microphone of the device. A step size for changing coefficients of the filter is determined based on its velocity. A number of iterations for updating the filter using a frame of audio data is also determined based on the velocity.
