Abstract
"In an era where autonomous robots, such as Boston Dynamics' quadrupedal robot, Spot, are capable of navigating complex environments, it is crucial to ensure the safety of an operator. Traditional control mechanisms, such as a remote control, may not be feasible or safe in harsh or hazardous conditions. Addressing this, we present a novel Python-based voice control module for Spot. Our module enables hands-free operation of the robot, allowing it to execute verbally issued commands. To enhance the interaction between an operator and a robot, we've integrated an additional text-to-speech synthesizer, establishing a two-way communication channel. Our solution leverages state-of-the-art Python libraries for speech-to-text translation and lightweight command extraction, which significantly extends the possibilities of interaction. As a result, Spot can perform basic tasks such as standing up or navigating to specific coordinates using only voice commands. This novel approach, promotes safety and efficiency in operating autonomous robots, opening up new possibilities for their use in challenging environments.
