PYTHON BASED VOICE ASSICENT AND GUIDING

ROBOT
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a proposal for using robot for guiding tourists or visitors in historical places, complex architectured
buildings. The objective is to develop a robot that is a combination of software and hardware for human machine
interaction. The design provides robot to communicate with visitors through android application via bluetooth module
mounted on it through voice command. The robot guides visitors in tourist places and give brief description of each object
which is preserved in that place in the desired language preferred by the visitors. The Audio Guided Robotic systems
(AGR) is an essential aspect of modern intelligent robotics. The AGR is rapidly transforming manufacturing processes by
enabling robots to be highly adaptable and intelligent reducing the cost and complexity. For any sensor-based intelligent
robots, audio-based planning is considered as one of the most prominent steps followed by controlled actions using voice
feedback. To develop robust audio-based autonomous systems in robotic applications, path-planning and localization can
be implemented along with Visual survey (VS) for robust feedback control. In the available literature, most of the reviews
are focused on a particular module of autonomous systems like path planning, motion planning strategies, or Visual
Survey techniques. In this paper overall review of different modules in vision-guided robotic systems is presented. So, this
review provides researchers with broader in-depth knowledge about different modules that exist in the audio-guided
autonomous system. this paper concludes by discussing some of the research, challenges, and future directions existing in
vision-based planning and control.

INTRODUCTION
Over the years, humans have evolved in investing new technologies for reducing human efforts and saving human life.
Physically challenged and elderly people even normal persons face difficulties while handling objects or searching
something and hence they need an assistant for the same. Thus, if a robotic assistant is developed which can be operated
using speech commands. It should be able to perform sure tasks we have a tendency to set for it. The desired task should
be achieved among some given limitations. Our main objective is to design a less costly and effective personal assistance
robot. This can do some small jobs for humans providing information about things that are asked by the user with the
help of the internet. This robot will fetch the information form provided URLs (Using APIs) like Wikipedia. This Robot
will be automated using machine learning algorithms to do things in particular areas. Usually, they convert human
environment into speech or tactile information.The robot can be controlled by using voice. Speech recognition is the
process of converting speech to digital data, voice recognition is aimed toward identifying the person who is speaking.
Voice recognition works by analysing the features of speech that differ between individuals. So, by this the movement of
the robot can be controlled by using the voice to do things as like a human which can be used in many fields especially
for blind people.

LITERATURE SURVEY
2. SERVICE IMPLICATIONS IN THE AGE OF THE MACHINE.
By McLeay, F.; Osburg, V.S.; Yoganathan, V.; Patterson. (published in April 2021)

Service organizations, emboldened by the imperative to innovate, are increasingly introducing robots to frontline service
encounters. However, as they augment or substitute human employees with robots, they may struggle to convince a
distrusting public of their brand’s ethical credentials. Consequently, this article develops and tests a holistic framework to
ascertain a deeper understanding of customer perceptions of frontline service robots (FLSRs) than has previously been
attempted. Our experimental studies investigate the effects of the role (augmentation or substitution of human employees
or no involvement) and type (humanoid FLSR vs. self-service machine) of FLSRs under the following service
contexts.value creation model (asset-builder, service provider) and service type (experience, credence). By empirically
establishing our framework, we highlight how customers’ personal characteristics (openness-to-change and preference for
ethical/responsible service provider) and cognitive evaluations (perceived innovativeness, perceived ethical/societal
reputation, and perceived innovativeness-responsibility fit) influence the impact that FLSRs have on service experience
and brand usage intent. Our findings operationalize and empirically support seminal frameworks from extant literature, as
well as elaborate on the positive and negative implications of using robots to complement or replace service employees.
Further, we consider managerial and policy implications for service in the age of machines.
 MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Components of System Architecture
1. Arduino Uno
2. Jumper wires
3. LCD Display
4. Bluetooth module
5. Amplifier module

Fig.3.1.1. ARDUINO UNO

Arduino UNO is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be
used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header
and a reset button.

Fig.3.1.2. LCD DISPLAY

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-
modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly but instead use
a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.

Fig.3.1.3. JUMPER WIRE

A jumper wire is an electric wire that connects remote electric circuits used for printed circuit boards. By attaching a
jumper wire on the circuit, it can be short-circuited and short-cut (jump) to the electric circuit.

Fig.3.1.4. BLUETOOTH MODULE

The Arduino BT is a microcontroller board originally was based on the ATmega168, but now is supplied with the 328P
(datasheet) and the Bluegiga WT11 Bluetooth module datasheet.

Fig.3.1.5. AMPLIFIER MODULE

An amplifier module is a component of active speakers. It is used to help drive the speaker, and produce the music that
you wish to listen to. When music is processed by any device, it produces a signal that is sent to some form of speaker.

Fig.3.1.6. LION BATTERY

A lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is an advanced battery technology that uses lithium ions as a key component of its
electrochemistry. During a discharge cycle, lithium atoms in the anode are ionized and separated from their electrons. The
lithium ions move from the anode and pass through the electrolyte until they reach the cathode, where they recombine with
their electrons and electrically neutralize. The lithium ions are small enough to be able to move through a micro-permeable
separator between the anode and cathode. In part because of lithium’s small size (third only to hydrogen and helium), Li-
ion batteries are capable of having a very high voltage and charge storage per unit mass and unit volume.

 Conclusion
At last we got an major problem that was the power supply. the Bluetooth module was too sensitive as it does not allow
any 0.1 volt in it As we have sorted many circuit finally we decided to add any audio device in it and also we decided to
take the power supply from the arduino uno board. It is apparent that the overall project success is not derived from one
team member’s mind but the keen coloration within our group. Each part is indispensable and every team member made
the great dedication on the completion of this design project. The pace is intense, the learning, immense.
