Voice controlled Humanoid Robot with artificial vision

摘要

Humanoid Robot is a robot shaped in the form of a human. A Humanoid robot is used in many different fields such as education for young children, on field marketing for companies, research and development tool, entertainment and for tasks that are unsafe to be done with real people so humanoid robots are a tool for human luxury and safety. Here we are using a Humanoid Robot which is capable of Detection and Recognition of different faces or objects and can be controlled through voice. The Movement of the humanoid robot is done basing on Arduino Mega and we make mobile robot whose motions can be controlled by the user by giving specific voice commands. The speech is received by a microphone and processed by the voice module. When a command for the robot is recognized, then voice module sends a command message to the robot's controller. This paper describes a simple and easy hardware for implementation of Face, Object and speech detection and recognition. So, for this purpose we use a Library which is especially developed for image processing technique known as OpenCV(Open source Computer Vision). And for the purpose of Voice identification we use and EasyVR module attached to Arduino Mega. The system is programmed using Python programming language for object and face recognition and for controlling the mechanism of the robot we write the program in Arduino. All these data is given to the Robot such that when an person or object is identified the robot speaks the name of the person or the object and then it can be controlled by using voice commands. This Robot can be used in real time in automated systems.
