Matrix Voice Controlled Robot
element14 presents | Dave Ploeger's VCP Profile | Project Videos
Johnny 4 wasn't very much alive until Dave put the robot's head on R8-D8s body. Johnny needed input - code that would help him to move around in his new body. Join Dave as he finally makes his robot fully functional, he adds a Matrix Voice shield to a Raspberry PI. With the help of snips.ai, which is an offline voice recognition software, he will control the robot with his voice.
Follow this guide for installing the snips.ai and the matrix voice shield:
