Voice Controlled Home Automation Using AI and NLP

Abstract

The aim of home automation is to make our lives easier and to improve the quality of life. The concept of Smart Homes builds on the progressing maturity of areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. Here, natural language processing (NLP) plays a vital role since it acts as an interface between human interaction and machines. Through NLP users can either command or control devices at home even though disabled persons command or request varies from presets. An application area of AI is Natural Language Processing (NLP). Voice assistants incorporate AI using cloud computing and can communicate with the users in natural language. Voice assistants are easy to use and thus there are millions of devices that incorporate them in households nowadays. Our project aims at providing a fully automated voice based solution that our users can rely on, to perform more than just switching on/off the appliances. The user sends a command through speech to the mobile device, which interprets the message and sends the appropriate command to the specific appliance. The primary objective is to construct a useful voice-based system that utilizes AI and NLP to control all domestic applications and services and also learn the user preferences over time using machine learning algorithms.
