Learn Robotics Programming - Third Edition
By :
In previous chapters, we added behaviors and functionality to our robot. In this chapter, we'll use voice commands to launch and control face-tracking or object-following, and have the robot report back to us in a voice of its own.
We'll see how to install AI components to convert our speech to text and text back to speech. We'll install a component to make use of that text with the robot's MQTT systems and respond with useful information. This will all be running directly on the Raspberry Pi.
Voice control adds ways to control the robot without reaching for the phone, building toward robotic interfaces that are more human. This also shows more of the flexibility of using an MQTT bus to connect systems.
We will learn about components to deploy and configure, basic speech concepts like utterances, and how to build it all in Python on the Raspberry Pi.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:
