Title
Voice Control Interface Prototype for Assistive Robots for People Living with Upper Limb Disabilities
Abstract
This paper presents a voice control interface prototype for assistive robots aiming to help people living with upper limb disabilities to perform daily activities autonomously. Assistive robotic devices can be used to help people with upper-body disabilities gain more autonomy in their daily life. However, it is very difficult or even impossible for certain users to control the robot with conventional control systems (e.g. joystick, sip-and-puff). This paper presents the design and preliminary evaluation of a voice command system prototype for the control of assistive robotic arms' movements. This work aims at making the control of assistive robots more intuitive and fluid, and to perform various tasks in less time and with a lesser effort. The prototype of the voice command interface developed is first presented, followed by two experiments with five able-bodied subjects in order to assess the system's performance and guide future development.
