Abstract
A robotic system is controlled. Audiovisual data representing an environment in which at least part of the robotic system is located is received via at least one camera and at least one microphone. The audiovisual data comprises a visual data component representing a visible part of the environment and an audio data component representing an audible part of the environment. A location of a sound source that emits sound that is represented in the audio data component of the audiovisual data is identified based on the audio data component of the audiovisual data. The sound source is outside the visible part of the environment and is not represented in the visual data component of the audiovisual data. Operation of a controllable element located in the environment is controlled based on the identified location of the sound source.
