ROS Based Control of Robot Using Voice Recognition

Abstract

Voice-based smart home applications have taken a rapid growth in the past few years. Voice recognition is the ability of the system to receive, interpret, analyze and carry out the spoken commands. This paper proposes a ROS based voice - controlled robot, which runs using a differential drive mechanism and takes the voice commands from the user and moves a wheeled robot accordingly. The system is based on a statistical model such as the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The HMM approach to speech enhancement relies on the Viterbi Algorithm.
