Robot voice a voice controlled robot using arduino
This robot not only takes the commands and executes them but also acknowledges them through speech output, and can perform different movements, turns, wakeup/shutdown operations, relocate an object from one place to another, and can also develop a conversation with humans.
Abstract
Robotic assistants reduce the manual efforts being put in by humans in their day-to-day tasks. In this paper, we develop a voice-controlled personal assistant robot. The robot takes the human voice commands by its own built-in microphone. This robot not only takes the commands and executes them but also acknowledges them through speech output. This robot can perform different movements, turns, wakeup/shutdown operations, relocate an object from one place to another, and can also develop a conversation with humans. The voice commands are processed in real time using an offline server. The speech signal commands are directly communicated to the server using a USB cable. The personal assistant robot is developed on a microcontroller-based platform. Performance evaluation is carried out with encouraging results of the initial experiments. Possible improvements for applications in homes, hospitals, car systems, and industries are also discussed.
