This paper presents a strategy for sound source localisation using an embedded asynchronous microphone array for robotic target tracking application. Conventional microphone array technologies require a multi-channel A/D converter for inter-microphone synchronization making the technology relatively expensive. In our method, a synchronization free embedded asynchronous microphone array has released this requirement. The microphone array needs self calibration using graph-based SLAM method, which estimates starting time offset and clock difference/drift rate of each microphone channel using Gauss-Newton least square optimization. The proposed method is suitable for target tracking applications.
