Voice User Interface in Robotics - Common Issues and Problems

The area of human machine interaction and machine intelligence in a social context is interesting and challenging to the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics community. The issue of developing humanoid robots with human-like perception is, for example, described in Brooks [13] research. Humans have five classical senses and sensors – vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, by which they perceive the surrounding world. This paper presents experiences resulting from experiments in introducing the “hearing” perception, using Speech Recognition technology in Robotics control [1].
