About

Jin-Young Son is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of acoustic signal processing and mobile robotics, with a particular focus on enabling robots to hear and locate sounds in noisy, real-world environments. His key research areas include sound source localization, noise suppression, and multi-microphone array processing. Son’s most cited work, "MIMO Noise Suppression Preserving Spatial Cues for Sound Source Localization in Mobile Robot" (2021), addresses a critical challenge in robotics: the interference of a robot’s own ego noise—such as motor hums and mechanical vibrations—with its ability to accurately detect external sounds. By proposing a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) noise suppression algorithm that preserves essential spatial cues, Son’s approach allows robots to maintain precise sound localization even while moving. This contribution is vital for applications in human-robot interaction, search-and-rescue, and autonomous navigation. With 11 citations, his work has already begun to influence the development of more perceptive and responsive robotic systems. Son’s research exemplifies the practical integration of signal processing and robotics, advancing the field toward machines that can truly listen to their surroundings.
