INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This project is related to a voice controlled car, which makes this project speech an
important part of identifying commands and delivering them to the car via a wireless
system. Identification of speech is also called as "automatic speech recognition
(ASR)".This undertaking has numerous elements like, interaction between laptop and
microprocessor, input and understanding of speech, Wireless numerical data distribution
microprocessor to microprocessor, the control of several motors using microprocessors.

1.1.1 Voice and Speech

Voice is a sound which is produced by living beings. Voice uses airflow that comes from
lungs. Air makes pressure over vocal folds which vibrate. Normally speech produces a
whisper in our throat by using neck, chest, and abdomen this whisper becomes our speech.
Our speech is unique for every person and also it helps other people to understand each
other’s personality, mood and most importantly it helps people to communicate. Sounds
propagate using mechanical waves for traveling around gases, liquids and solids.
Mechanical waves transfer their energy from one medium to another medium while using
vibration. Microphone is a hardware device which can convert analog input to a digital
output. Digital data can be understood, modify and store by computers. Computers can
recognize speech by using some complex algorithms and good dictionaries for these
algorithms. Some systems use the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and the Mel frequency
cepstral coefficients (MFCC) techniques as well as the techniques of frequency spectral
decomposition to use these two algorithms.

10
1.1.2 Arduino Communication

To communicate with Arduino we first need to install its free software from the internet
and install. The software is very easy to use and installing it creates just one .uno files on
the microprocessors these files confuse the user because there are many different files
generating.After installing Arduino it is ready to usage including dictionaries using
dictionaries is very easy on the Arduino and Arduino does not requires any configuration
setting when programming. User can use USB cable to connect Arduino and after that user
can dump his code to Arduino far more easily and quickly than micro-controller.

1.1.3 Bluetooth Communication

Bluetooth is one of the popular devices to communicate in short range it is used on

computers, cell phones, head phones and many other devices. Bluetooth devices use 2.4 to
2.5 GHz frequency to communicate with each other. Bluetooth standardized as IEEE
802.15.1 but then it changed that 802.15.1 Bluetooth’s range is 2400–2483.5 MHz
approximately. Bluetooth devices generally use frequency-hopping spread spectrum
communication technique to communicate with each other.

1.2 OBJECTIVE

Voice controlled car systems have been very important in providing the ability to drivers
to adjust the controls of the car without any distractions.
These systems are continuously improving providing drivers more control over the internal
car system.
Our main goal in this project is to create a voice controlled car system, which has the ability
to detect specific voice commands. According to these commands the system adjusts both
the display on a computer screen and the audio output.
The system will consist of a microphone that detects input audio signals.

11
1.3 SCOPE

1. This research work has been narrowed down to short range Bluetooth module. Using a
long rangemodules and other connectivity devices will result in connectivity with the robot
for long distances.
2. Power Optimization such sleep and wakeup schedules can be incorporated.
3. Image processing can be implemented in the robot to detect the color and the objects.
4. A thermal camera can be installed to sense the heat emitted by bodies useful in military
purposes to detect enemies on the lines.
5. Automatic Targeting System can be implemented cin the robot for tracking the target.

1.4 METHODOLOGY

To control a robotic car using our voice we a very simple approach, first of all the human
commands gets converted into text and for this we use Google’s speech to text converter,
it’s all implemented in the android app that we are using next the text form of command is
being transmitted to the Bluetooth module of the robotic car. This Bluetooth module act as
a bridge between micro-controller of car and android app for data transmission. After the
text command is received by micro-controller, it controls the movement of the robotic car
accordingly.

2.1.3 Android Controlled Bluetooth Robot Using 8051 Microcontroller

Authors : Ritika Pahuja, Narender Kumar.

A robot is normally an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by PC and electronic
programming. Numerous robots have been worked for producing reason and can be foundin
production lines around the globe. This paper build up the remote fastens in the android
application which control the robot movement with them. What's more, in which Bluetooth
communication is use to interface controller and android. Controller is interfaced to the
Bluetooth module however UART convention.

2.1.4 Robot Controlled Car Using Wi-Fi Module

Authors : S R Madkar, Vipul Mehta, Nitin Bhuwania, Maitri Parida

14
2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

The current systems are robots like line follower robot, edge averting robot, DTMF robot,
gesture controlled robot. These type of robots are not efficient since they require more
power to run, cost is also very high. In the existing system they don’t use voice commands,
making it not possible for physically handicapped people to drive.

The voice commands are interpreted via an offline server in real time. The commands are
at once transmitted to the server directly by the means of a wired network. The car is built
primarily on a platform based on a microcontroller.Some of the fields that can likewise be
equally enhanced are the effect of the mouth-microphone range on the robotic, the overall
performance (scope) of the robot and the effect of noise on the translation of speech to
textual content.

In the existing system BitVoicer Server is used, it's a database for speech processing and
automation synthesis. It was designed to make voice operation possible with simple gadgets
having low processing power. Microcontrollers usually do not have enough storage and
computing ability to perform sophisticated speech treatment and synthesis. By doing the
tough work BitVoicer Server removes the consequences of these limitations so that the
microcontroller can assign its key functionality to most of its origin sources.

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN

3.1 PROPOSED SYSTEM

In this proposed device we perform a variety of research on control style variants for robots.
It shows that it’s feasible to study to successfully manipulate actual world objects with
solely voice (human voice) as a control mechanism. The reason of this lookup is to provide
simple robotic hardware architecture so that this shape can focal point on Bluetooth
connection infrastructure. It is also beneficial for academic robotics due to the fact human
beings can construct their personal robots with low cost.

When the app is operating in the system, a microphone on the mobile is used to identify
user voice commands. Commands are interpreted and the program utilizes Google's speech-
recognition software to translate voice to text within the app. The text will then be sent with
the aid of Bluetooth to the receiver part. The microcontroller Arduino UNO R3 has 32kB
of ISP flash memory, 2kB of RAM and 1kB of EEPROM. The panel incorporates serial
communication connectivity with UART, SPI and I2C. The MCU will operate at 16MHz
clock speed.

The digital Arduino I / O pins 3, 4, 5 and 6 are programmed as output pins in this design.
For serial communication with the Bluetooth unit, pins 0 and 1 of Arduino are used. Text
obtained with the aid of Bluetooth is forwarded to Arduino UNO microcontroller panel by
the usage of UART serial conversation protocol. Table 3.1 displays the voice commands
used to monitor the robots and their functions.

3.3 WORKING

The block diagram of the simple voice controlled robotic vehicle is given it consists of the
smartphone that recognizes the voice commands and are being wirelessly transferred to the
Bluetooth module HC05. The module at that point changes over the order to content and
the series of characters are sent to the Arduino for additional handling.

The Arduino microcontroller decodes the string got and correspondingly performs further
capacities. The signals are sent to the motor that hence powers and drives the motors
connected to it. On the Transmitter area, commands are given to the Mobile Application
through the mic. This portable handset is associated with the moving vehicle by means of
Bluetooth module. The portable application utilized, is modified so that the voice orders
given to the handset are received by the mic and these simple voice orders are changed over
to advanced word successions (A to D transformation). These stored sequences are than
transmitted to the robotic vehicle via Bluetooth transceiver module and are sent to the
transceiver controller.

Android application transceiver is used to decode the received signal with the Bluetooth
module. The controller contrasts these signals and the put away program orders in it and
convert them into voice strings. The voice strings are then used to run the servo engines for
the ideal interval of time. The microcontroller, sends directions, which when executed,
helps in working of the engine driver. The yield of the Arduino goes to the engine driver
IC and it controls the specific engine. A DC power supply is required to run the system.
The DC power supply feeds the Microcontroller and the Bluetooth module.

3.4 FLOWCHART

FIGURE 3.4 FLOWCHART FOR VOICE CONTROL CAR

The flow diagram to control the robot car with an Android-based mobile application. In
this scenario, the robot car will move with the built-in Android application with different
methods like touch button control (arrow and simple buttons), voice recognition. Firstly,
with the touch buttons; after establishing the connection to the Android mobile application
with Arduino through the Bluetooth module, whenever the user presses any of the touch
buttons in the application, the corresponding signal is sent to the Arduino Uno. After
receiving the signal, Arduino will check this with predefined instruction for moving
forward, backward, left, right, and brake, then send the command to the motor module to
move the robot in the corresponding direction.
The second method to control the robot car is voice recognition through the GUI of the
android application. When the user selects the voice recognition option in the application
and speaks the specific word (left, right, forward, backward ), the application sends this
voice command signal to Arduino, and it will begin measuring the signal and complete the
operation as it is defined in the previous method to control the robot car with touch buttons.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
5.1 ARDUINO IDE SOFFTWARE

FIGURE 5.1 ARDUINO IDE SOFTWARE

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and

software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or
a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of
instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming
language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

Why Chosen Arduino

Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller
platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand,
and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50

29
Cross-platform - The Arduino Software (IDE) runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and
Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows. Simple,
clear programming environment - The Arduino Software (IDE) is easyto-use for beginners,
yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's
conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to
program in that environment will be familiar with how the Arduino IDE works. Open
source and extensible 29 software - The Arduino software is published as open source tools,
available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded
through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the
leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. Similarly,
you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to. Open source
and extensible hardware - The plans of the Arduino boards are published under a Creative
Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the
module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the
breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.

5.2 ANDROID APP

CHAPTER 6 :
RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Human voice is identified using a microphone in the android smart phone. This voice is
analyzed and converted into English words using the android operating system codes and
Artificial Intelligence software. Speech recognition is the inter-disciplinary sub-field of
computational linguistics that develops methodologies and technologies that enables the
recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers. It is also known as
automatic speech recognition (ASR), computer speech recognition or speech to text (STT).
It incorporates knowledge and research in the linguistics, computer science, and electrical
engineering fields.

From the technology perspective, speech recognition has a long history with several waves
of major innovations. Most recently, the field has benefited from advances in deep learning
and big data. The advances are evidenced not only by the surge of academic papers
published in the field, but more importantly by the worldwide industry adoption of a variety
of deep learning methods in designing and deploying speech recognition systems.

FIGURE 6.0 ASSEMBLY IMAGE OF VOICE CONTROL CAR

The Figure Shows the assembly image for voice control robot using arduino software.The
project was completed according to the specification and needs. Simple movements can be
controlled with the voice. The proposed system is basically based on Voice Controlled
Robotic Vehicle helps to control robot through voice commands received via android
application. The Voice Controlled Vehicle is controlled through voice commands given by
the user who is operating the project. These voice command needs to be given through an
android app which is installed on the users android mobile. Speech recognition is done
within the android app and then a respective command is sent to the voice controlled robot
vehicle. Microcontroller fitted on the Vehicle decodes these commands and gives an
appropriate command to the motors connected to the vehicle.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

8.1 CONCLUSION

The goal of this article is to provide an equipment circuit that enables individuals to use
their voice to control robots or other home machinery. The smartphone is nowadays are
growing into more and more powerful devices, which have the capacity to interact with
other appliances through Bluetooth, wifi, etc. Bluetooth being a cheap mode of
communication, provide a powerful mode of connection. All our research and projects
about controlling devices using voice pay off and finally leads us to the conclusion that
Yes, it is possible for human beings to control their day to day appliances just by their
voice.

The “Voice Controlled Robotic Vehicle” project has many applications and in present and
future. The project can be made more effective by adding features to it in the future. The
project has applications in wide variety of areas such as military, home security, rescue
missions, industries, medical assistance etc. We were successful in implementing a simple
model of voice controlled robotic vehicle using the available resources. The
implementation of this project is easy, so this robot is beneficial for human life. The Voice
Control Robot is useful for disable people and monitoring purpose. It works on simple voice
command, so it is easy to use. It is useful for those areas where humans can’t reach. The
size of this robot is small, so we can use this robot for spying purpose. It can be used for
surveillance. We can implement web cam in this robot for security purpose. The voice
recognition software has an accuracy and for identify a voice command and it is also highly
sensitive to the surrounding noise.

8.2 FUTURE SCOPE

• This project work has been narrowed down to short range Bluetooth module. Using a long
range modules and other connectivity devices will result in connectivity with the robot for
long distances.
• Power Optimization such sleep and wakeup schedules can be incorporated.
• Image processing can be implemented in the robot to detect the color and the objects.
• A thermal camera can be installed to sense the heat emitted by bodies useful in military
purposes to detect enemies on the lines.
• Automatic Targeting System can be implemented in the robot for tracking the target.
• Further enhancement in project can be used for Home security and military purposes
where the commands can be given to robot without risk by increasing the range and by
installing cameras.
• The robot is useful in places where humans find difficult to reach but human voice
reaches. E.g. in fire situations, in highly toxic areas.
• It is the one of the important stage of Humanoid robots.
• Speech and voice recognition security systems.
• The robot can be used for surveillance or reconnaissance.

As we know nothing in this world is perfect everything is trying to make itself better and
more effective compared to others. So on the same note, this technology also requires lots
more development. Thus expanding its applications farther where at present we can’t think
of.
