The Tigal VRbot module is a low-cost voice recognition module designed to easily add versatile voice command functionality to robots and many other applications where voice command control is desired. The VRbot module provides users with 26 built-in, speaker-independent commands that allow basic control of robot movement right out of the box. An additional RoboBASIC template is provided for easy adaptation of the robot’s response to various speaker-dependent voice commands.
Measuring 24 x 45 mm, the VRbot module is designed to fit inside the chest cover of the Robonova-I and Robozak robots and is ready to run immediately after installation. Users can also configure up to 32 user-defined, speaker-dependent triggers or commands and assign them to specific robot movement sequences using the included Windows-based GUI software.
The module is fully self-contained and interacts with any host using a simple, yet robust serial protocol that allows the addition of voice recognition capabilities to many applications in addition to robot control. All protocol specifications are provided to assist in interfacing with the module from any host platform. The VRbot comes complete with a power cable, a data cable and a microphone.
The VRbot module can also be used to efficiently implement voice recognition capability on a wide range of host platforms that have a UART operating with TTL signal levels or can emulate a UART with bit bashing, such as Arduino boards and PIC, ATmega or ARM-based microcontrollers.
Visit the website for demo videos and sample code for using the VRbot module with a Robonova, POPbot, Arduino USB board, or Mikroelektronika’s EasyPIC5 development board. All software tools, documentation and demo videos are available online for free downloading.
