Controlling a Robot Arm by Thai Voice Commands

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to control a robot arm by using Thai voice commands. (CRATVC) The research was conducted by speaking a user’s voice commands to a computer, and then the computer system converted the voice commands into digital signal. Finally, a robot arm is operated based on the Thai voice digital signal. The experiment was conducted on the robot arm with six Thai voice commands, which were: 1) gripper opened, 2) gripper closed, 3) arm up, 4) arm down, 5) turn right, and 6) turn left. The experimental precisions are 91.67%, 89.17% and 65.83% in a quiet room, an office room and a noisy room, respectively.
