Voice Controlled Autonomous Mobile Robot Using ROS2 and Speech-to-Text Module

This paper Presents Task driven Approach For the autonomous Navigation That uses Lidar technology, SLAM technology ,Speech to text module for communication and ROS2 Framework As operating system to achieve Autonomous navigation. The robot is capable of autonomous navigation We made an autonomous robot that uses SLAM for navigation and a microphone that turns speech into text for control. The robot was able to move around and follow simple voice commands. This project taught us how combining mapping and voice systems can make robots more useful. Even though it is not perfect, it shows that such systems can be applied in real life.
