Haptic Robotic Arm Using Voice & Gesture Recognition

Abstract: Our project presents a wireless interface to control an arm using voice & gesture commands through a computer. Voice recognition is the process of taking the spoken word as an input to a computer program. This process is important to virtual reality because it provides a fairly natural and intuitive way of controlling the simulation while allowing the user's hands to remain free. Arm with Voice Recognition is to create a wireless voice controlled arm which can be operated through a range of 10 to 50 meters using transmitter and receiver. This vehicle is equipped with a wireless camera which will transmit the live pictures and videos remotely. Voice recognition is "the technology by which sounds, words or phrases spoken by humans are converted into electrical signals, and these signals are transformed into coding patterns to which meaning has been assigned". Robotic arms are generally heavy rigid devices. They operate in controlled environments and perform highly repetitive tasks under pre-programmed control. The main goal is to present a programming robotic arm system for carrying out flexible pick and place behaviour and control it using voice recognition and gesture recognition. This is the most advance version of “pick n place robot” perhaps and most popular and widely used in recent industries. Arm is equipped with the camera which will transmit video in the database.
