Abstract

Voice recognition services are very common nowadays. These services offer a lot of opportunities to shift the challenges of input and output between both humans and computers to a more communicative realm. An event reminder system based on speech recognition with autonomous features can help to create and catalogue appointments and events of interest in a natural and efficient way.The goal of this project is to aid users in creating digital reminders through the use of robots based on speech recognition. We propose a hardware-software architecture for a robot based on an Arduino Uno and a smartphone running the Android platform.The first prototype of this small robot assitant is able to receive voice commands and move forward, backward, to the right, and to the left as well as move its head forward and backward. In addition, it is capable of converting voice input into stored events and then providing aural reminders according to the date and time provided.
