MuSTMM: Learning Sound-Triggered Mobile Manipulation across Multiple Scenes

We introduce Multi-scene Sound-Triggered Mobile Manipulation (MuSTMM), a dataset that combines spatial audio rendering and physical interaction across 31 scenes with diverse architectures and object layouts.

Key points

  • Sound-Triggered Mobile Manipulation (STMM) requires robots to respond to sound events by navigating to the associated objects and performing appropriate physical interactions.
  • We further augment the Navigation Policy Model with explicit spatial memory that complements acoustic cues with observed geometry.
  • Fusing map features with sound context produces a goal descriptor that provides both target-location and scene-structure priors, guiding navigation to the target region required for subsequent physical interaction.
  • MuSTMM and the navigation policy provide a testbed for the new challenge of studying sound-triggered mobile manipulation in unseen scenes.
