About
Benjamin Yen is a rising researcher at the forefront of **drone audition** and **swarm robotics**, pioneering the use of multi-drone systems for acoustic sensing in critical applications. His major contributions lie in developing the first operational **indoor multi-drone system for sound source tracking**, leveraging the open-source Crazyflie platform and ROS 2 to achieve real-time, autonomous localization of audible sounds. Yen’s work is foundational to **search and rescue (SAR)** operations, where he introduced the **Swarm Active Audition System (SAAS)**—a coordinated network of robots and drones designed to detect and locate victims in disaster-stricken areas where visual cues are obscured. He also established a robust **ROS 2-based communication framework** for multi-drone audition, ensuring reliable data exchange in challenging environments. Though early in his career, Yen’s papers have already garnered **9 citations** across three 2024 publications, signaling strong interest from the robotics and emergency response communities. His innovative fusion of swarm intelligence and active audition promises to transform how autonomous systems assist in life-saving missions, making him a key figure to watch in the field of aerial acoustic robotics.
