• Designed to easily add versatile voice command functionality to robots
• 26 built-in speaker independent (SI) commands for ready to run basic controls
• Supports up to 32 user-defined speaker dependent (SD) triggers
• Works with Robonova and Robozak MR-C3024 controller boards
• The EasyVR module was formerly known as VRbot
The VRbot Voice Recognition Module for Robonova and Other robots is designed to easily add versatile voice command functionality to robots, and in particular ROBONOVA-I and ROBOZAK. Although designed specifically with the ROBONOVA-I and ROBOZAK robots in mind, the VRbot module can also be used to efficiently implement voice recognition capabilities on virtually any host platform. The module is completely self-contained and interacts with the host through a simple, yet robust serial protocol, enabling Voice Recognition on relatively low-power processors such as ATMEGA, PIC etc.
The VRbot module provides users with a host of built-in Speaker Independent (SI) commands that will allow basic control of the Robot movement straight out-of-the-box. In addition, users have the possibility to configure up to 32 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) triggers or commands to control their ROBONOVA and ROBOZAK robots or other applications developed on an alternate host.
Features:
• 26 built-in speaker independent (SI) commands for ready to run basic controls (currently supports US English, German, Italian and Japanese with more languages available in the near future)
• Supports up to 32 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) triggers or commands as well as Voice Passwords. SD commands are language independent.
• Easy-to-use and free simple Graphical User Interface to program Voice Commands to your robot or other application
• Works with Robonova and Robozak MR-C3024 controller boards
• Module can be used with any host with an UART interface (powered at 3.3V - 5V)
• Simple and robust serial protocol to access and program the module through the host board
• Operates from 9600bps to 115000bps
• Protocol specifications provided for implementation on other platforms
VRbot with ROBONOVA-I
All of the VRbot functionality can easily be accessed from the MR-C3024 controller board through a simple, yet robust serial protocol. All you need to do is connect the VRbot module to your ROBONOVA or ROBOZAK board, connect your robot to a PC, power up, and you are ready to go. You will not have to worry about needing additional adapter boards. Upon power up, the supplied VRbotGUI software automatically downloads a roboBASIC bridge program to the controller board, which will allow immediate voice control of the robot with the built-in SI command set.
The bridge program also enables programming of the speaker dependent commands into VRbot by using the PC interface. After creating and training all desired commands in the VRbotGUI, users can create a basic template program, open it in the roboBASIC editor and assign specific behavior to each command. This can finally be downloaded and run on the ROBONOVA controller essentially giving your robot the ability to listen and adhere to your voice commands.
