Voice recognition for the IBM 7535 robot

Abstract

The authors describe the development of a voice-recognition control system for the IBM 7535 industrial manufacturing robot. This voice-controlled robotic system is implemented using a VCS 1000 isolated-word recognition system as the input control device and an IBM PC/AT for the interface unit between the robot and the word recognition unit. QUICKBASIC computer programs were developed to accept words from the VCS 1000, interpret these work-commands, and transmit a real-time sequence of movements to the IBM 7535 robot. The following steps were accomplished: (1) IBM 7535 set-up for speech-recognition applications; (2) VSC 1000 system development; (3) command-set development for robotic application; and interface design between the IBM 7535 and the VCS 1000.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
