A Voice Control Platform of Mobile Robot through ROS

In order to enable the interaction between human and mobile robot, a control platform of mobile robot is designed using speech recognition and robot operation system (ROS). The PC installed with ROS performs as server to communicate with the mobile robot which acts as client through WIFI. The server sends commands generated from the speech recognition to the client to control the motion of mobile robot. Simultaneously, the mobile robot transfers information to the sever, and the visualization tool called RVIZ is used to display the motion trajectory and tilt angle of the robot in real-time. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the platform can play an important role on human-robot interaction research field and provides potential engineering application and promotion significance.
