The Robot-Guide for Indoor Navigation

Abstract

Robotics, speech recognition and computer vision are relevant problems of computing, signal processing and analysis. Using algorithms for audio and visual information processing allows to control a real mechanism in order to create an autonomous robot-helper. The paper describes the working principles of hardware and software of the robot-guide, their interaction and the implementation of the robot-server interconnection through existing World Wide Web infrastructure. The authors used the Raspberry Pi as a robot control plate, the system of speech recognition module based on PocketSphinx library and the sensor RPLIDAR A1 as the navigation module for computer vision implementation.
