Speech Recognition based Industrial Cloud Robot for Service-Oriented Sustainable Manufacturing

Abstract

Abstract Industrial Cloud Robotics is an amalgamation of cloud computing and an industrial robot to establish a service-oriented manufacturing system. Teleoperation of an industrial robot – the ability to control a robot from a remote location, is facilitated through this system. In this paper, a framework is proposed by utilizing speech recognition and industrial cloud robots for the applications of sustainable manufacturing. We have used Google’s speech recognition services to control the robot manipulator. We have employed Android Speech API in a custom android application that receives the speech signal, transcribes, and forwards it to a server. The application can be viewed or accessed by any host computer, which primarily serves as a user. The monitoring unit and the data is fetched by the Robot Speech Interface unit via the internet and web sockets. The interface triggers the required action of the robot through the relay board actuation of the digital input facility of the robot. Through this work, it is realized that, despite the disturbances and noise interferences, speed and reliability are not compromised.
