Summary of Talk

• Problem To design a robot that finds girls and
  is able to obtain information through speech.
• Goals To learn specifics of voice recognition in
  a micro controlled robot, and a few girls
  numbers.
• Approach Concurrent designing of voice systems
  during construction of robot systems.
• Completed Voice training, parts acquired.
• Results Better equipment might be required.
• Future plans Integrate basic systems, design
  signal processing.

Introduction

• Mr. Pimp must find people and then talk to them
  and obtain phone numbers.
• The robot must be able to listen and determine
  speaker independent speech.
• Several chips are presently available for speaker
  dependent speech.
• Mr. Pimp must allow for multiple functions
  without interference to the speech system.

Mr. Pimps Soul

• Computer MAVRIC-IIB micro-controllers
• Language C programming in AVR studio
• Main Sensor SR-07 Voice Recognition Unit

• Actuation Gear Head Motors 12vdc 501 T, 6mm
  shaft
• Behaviors Object avoidance, human detection and
  data acquisition via speech.
• Function Find girls, get their numbers, and
  bring back to me.

Voice Systems

• Training SR-07
• 40 vocabulary speaker dependent, train each word
  4 times for speaker independence.
• The range for the present microphone is 1 inch,
  and speaker independence results are not
  promising.
• Using Voice Direct 364 system
• Using this system to initiate speech and request
  command words from each encountered human
  provides speech recognition.
• Use band pass filter
• Fundamental frequencies 120Hz for men, 210Hz for
  women.
• Using a comparator to create a basic test for
  gender.

6
Conclusions

• Final testing on the voice system needs to occur
  this weekend.
• Complete training and debugging of SR-07 unit for
  use.
• Design of band pass filters for testing and
  feasibility.
• Integration of SR-07 unit in the MAVRIC-IIB.

Future Work

• Future Work
• The board needs to be interfaced with sonar,
  keypad, and SR-07 unit this week.
