ABSTRACT
______________________________________________________________________________
Voice based system has been developed to control a mobile robot using oral commands.
The system is divided in to two components as speech recognition engine, hidden Markov
Models are used as the main method recognizing oral commands. The robotic control unit is
developed under the ARIA environment, which is provided by the robot manufacturer. This
paper describes about the Voice control wheel chair system by using speech recognition through
Bluetooth module. The system is designed to control a wheelchair using the voice of consumer.
The objective of this paper is to facilitate the movement of people who are disabled or
handicapped and elderly people who are not able to move well. The result of this design will
allow certain people to live a life with less dependence on others. Speech recognition technology
is a key which may provide new way of human interaction with machines or tools. Thus the
problem that they faced can be solved by using speech recognition technology to move the wheel
chair. This can be realized with the Bluetooth as an intermediary. An interface is designed
therefore to develop the program for recognizes s voice in turns control the movement of
wheelchairs. The results and analysis of this innovation will describe in this report. The result
shows the module can be used for the future research works and to design excellence innovation
that meets market needs and public interest.

CONCLUSION
Voice recognition system for the
mobile wheel chair robot control was
designed. The core acoustic modeling was
achieved by using the HMM method and
more than 3 commands are built in the
linguist database to improve the accuracy by
reading the past recognized words in the
buffer and increase or decrease of the
possible occurrence of the output words.
This model allow certain people to live a life
with less dependence on others
APPLICATIONS
This system can have a wide range of
applications. Some of these applications are
listed below.
 Useful for physically challenged
 Command and control of appliances and
equipments
 Telephone assistance system
 Speech controlled toys
 Speech recognition security system
 Controlled devices using robot
 Voice control for remote places and
industries.
