 INTRODUCTION

When we say voice control, the first term to be considered is

Speech Recognition i.e. making the system to understand
human voice.

SPEECH RECOGNITION is a technology where the system

understands the words (not its meaning) given through speech.

Speech is an ideal method for robotic control and

communication and another advantage is its
easy programmability.
 Why robots?

Robots are indispensable in many manufacturing

industries. Because of their following advantages,
 Once programmed repeatedly perform functions with a high accuracy.
 Cost requirement is low(running).
 Robots are built and programmed to a specific job.
 Error free operation.
 can work in all types of polluted environments
Without risking human life or limb, robots can replace
humans in some hazardous duty service. Robots can work
in all types of polluted environments, chemical as well as
nuclear.
 THE TASK

The robotic car which could be controlled using voice

commands. Generally these kinds of systems are known as
Speech Controlled Automation Systems (SCAS)

We are not aiming to build a robot which can recognize a lot
of words. What we are aiming at is to control the robot
using following voice commands.
Robot which can do these basic tasks:

1. move forward
2. move back
3. turn right
4. turn left
5. load
6. release
7. stop ( stops doing the
current job )
 SAMPLE INPUT OUTPUT

INPUT (Speaker speaks) OUTPUT (Robot does)

forward moves forward

Back moves back

Right turns right

Left turns left

Load Lifts the load

Release Releases the load

Stop stops doing current task

 SPEECH RECOGNITION TYPES AND STYLES

Speech recognition is classified into two categories

1. Speaker dependent : Systems are trained
by the individual who will be using the
system.
2. Speaker independent : System trained to
respond to a word regardless of who
speaks
 DESIGN APPROACH ( Block diagram )

SYSTEM DESIGN

a) Voice Recognition Module

b) Microcontroller and Decoder

c) RF module

d) Motor Driver Circuit

e) Buffer
The voice recognition module basically consists of:

Voice Recognition Chip :

It is the heart of the entire system. The input
voice command is analyzed, processed, recognized and
then obtained at one of its output port which is then
decoded, amplified and given to motors of robot car.
 Microphones

It takes the analog voice commands and sends it to

voice recognition chip in the form of electrical signal.
These detect sound signals and produce an electrical
image of the sound i,e., they produce a voltage or a
current which is proportional to the sound signal.
 Keypad
It is used for programming the chip. It also allocates definite
memory locations to voice commands. The keypad is made up of
12 switches.
 Display Module

7-segment Display: It is used to test the voice recognition circuit. The 7

segment display is used as a numerical indicator on many types of test
equipment.

8k x 8 RAM : It stores decoded voice commands by the chip at the assigned

locations.
Circuit Diagram of voice recognition module:
 Microcontroller and driver circuit:

Decoder: It is second most important part of the project. The output

from the chip is given to decoder (micro-controller) which acts as a
DMC i.e. a Digital Motor Controller.
 RF module:

RF modules are normally divided into three groups, RF

transmitter module, RF receiver module and RF transceiver
module.
 Design

Buffer: We used IC 74LS245 as buffer ic. It is a 3-state octal bus

transceiver. They are designed for asynchronous two-way
communication between data buses

Batteries: Batteries are by far the most commonly used electric

power supply for robotics.
Types of Battery used are,

 Primary batteries: Primary batteries are one-time-use batteries. The batteries

we will look at in this class deliver 1.5 V per cell.

 Secondary batteries: Secondary batteries are rechargeable. The most common

rechargeable batteries are NiCds and lead-acid.
 APPLICATIONS

 The robot can be used as a toy.

 It can be used to bring and place small objects.
 It is the one of the important stage of Humanoid robots.
 Command and control of appliances and equipment
 Telephone assistance systems
 Data entry
 Speech and voice recognition security systems.
 The robot is useful in places where humans find difficult to
reach but human voice reaches. E.g. in a small pipeline, in a
fire-situations, in highly toxic areas.
