Voice Controlled Robots

Projects General Guidance

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum - not sure if this is the correct place to post to. Anyway, I'm working on an voice-controlled mobile robot project. Can you tell me if AVR/Arduino would be a good choice for a project like this? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Regards,

The Arduino is fine for controlling robots, but can't do voice recognition.

An Arduino could also read the output of a voice recognition module and execute commands.

Thank you sir. Can I just ask, is there any MCU that can do voice recognition by itself, or would you always need a voice recognition module regardless of the MCU?

ARM MCUs, and some others, are powerful enough for voice recognition. An ARM may be in the EasyVR3 module. The ARM-based Raspberry PI has several free voice recognition options.

jremington, do you think the EasyVR3 module would be able to recognise different whistle pitches?

A computer will have a more or less precise definition of pitch. Most humans would have difficulty producing a given pitch, without some sort of instrument.

But try it and let us know!
