Abstract
An example method includes determining a plurality of frequency ranges corresponding to a plurality of types of errors, where the plurality of frequency ranges are associated with sounds occurring during operation of a robotic device. The method also includes detecting, based on sensor data from at least one audio sensor of the robotic device, a sound during a given operation of the robotic device. The method also includes determining that a frequency of the detected sound is within a particular frequency range of the plurality of frequency ranges. Based on the frequency being within the particular frequency range, the method also includes determining a type of error of the plurality of types of errors corresponding to the particular frequency range. The method also includes providing an output signal indicating an error of the determined type.
