Concept of Implementing Computer Voice Control for CNC machines Using Natural Language Processing

Currently, rapidly developing software and hardware technologies in the machine learning field boost natural language processing in many applications: from interactive voice response systems to fully automated customer support with chat-bots and even conversational bots for the entertainment industry. However, there are still fields that do not use machine learning to solve existing tasks and challenges. This paper introduces a high-level architecture of voice user interface, describes its requirements and use-cases in the context of using computer numeric control machines. Moreover, while other researchers suggest trying to automate the manufacturing process as much as possible to exclude humans from the manufacturing process, this article suggests choosing a slightly different approach and taking a fresh look at how the user interacts with the machine. The study proposes a new interaction scheme using computer voice control as an analog to computer numeric control term. Such an approach allows simplifying the human-machine interfaces on a machine and improving the safety of use and efficiency of interaction.
