ArXi:2603.07072v1 Announce Type: cross We present Artoo, a learned acoustic communication system for robots that replaces hand-designed signal processing with end-to-end co-trained neural networks. Our system pairs a lightweight text-to-speech (TTS) transmitter (1.18M parameters) with a conformer-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) receiver (938K parameters), jointly optimized through a differentiable channel.
