Voice Controlled Robotic Arm Manipulation

Abstract

A robot is an assemblage of a certain material that works or moves in a way that imitates the ways of living creatures and organisms. There are many applications of robots, which mostly use their available sensors to do a certain jobs, or use its actuators to affect the environment in some way or another. The main reason behind creating a robot is to facilitate the life of a human being. In other words to make things done faster and more accurately without any human intervention.

This work aims to create a robotic arm manipulation controlled by voice command, which could be integrated into a higher scale model to help into construction or into hazardous environments. This robot consists of servo motors as its joints and metal for its links. The end effector of the arm is a gripper that can hold objects, stack them or bring them down to the ground through voice commands. The movement of the robot is calculated using forward kinematics and inverse kinematic.
