Assistive Robot for Speech Semantic Recognition System

Abstract

This paper presents a method of an assistive robotic control system based on speech semantic recognition through implementationon hardware and simulation. This project purpose is to develop an assistive robot that used speech semantic recognition system whichmeans this robot can understand and interpret the meaning of words. This paper focused on the process of the assistive robot and howit developed. This robot can assist peoples with physical disabilities especially people who cannot move their leg or hand because it is controlled by using speech. While much attention has been paid to remote control assistive robot and voice commands through direction assistive robot, so far there is no clear definition of speech semantic for the assistive robot. EasyVR is used as the voice controller in order to process the speech in MATLAB simulation. Three locations inside a house are used, and five words per locationare used to test and clarify the effectiveness of this robot.
