Voice command robot system by using the linguistic knowledge of a voice

It is shown that it is easy to translate a natural-language-style task instruction given by a voice into a motion-level robot program by utilizing procedures having to do with the visualization of assembly parts by a human being. This method is similar to the process by which a human being carries out an assembly task by utilizing the function and role peculiar to each assembly part as the knowledge. The concept of object-oriented programming is used as the knowledge representation form. The operational procedures of the assembly parts and other attributes are constructured according to the object-oriented model. The translation into the robot program is executed by using the message passing facility of objects.<>
