This technique is designed for full scale humanoids where the distance between sensors, mounted in the same plane, is large enough to provide an easily worked waveform differential. The same holds true with optics and lenses, as the separation reaches an optimal plane distance of several inches for stereo optic results. The sound software could be modified but at such close separation distances, the differential would be minimal and not product accurate results. It would be more beneficial to place these sound sensors at opposite sides of the robot in different locations. This can optimally locate sound point sources with sensors mounted at small differential locations on the humanoid. As an additional tweaking, collection ears can focus the sound waves and produce directionally tuned results. If you don't mind placing the stereo-acoustic sensor in the front, back or sides, it can improve the results substantially.
