Voice control personal assistant using Raspberry PI

Abstract

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the implementation of a Voice Command System as an Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) that can perform various tasks or services for an individual. It based on the concepts of Internet of Things, Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Using Rasp- berry Pi as a main hardware to implement this model which works on the primary input of a users voice. . The device will respond to the user in a casual manner so that the user has a friendly experience with the device and feels it like his or her own assistant. The Internet of Things (IoT) means learning and interacting with millions of things including services, sensors, actuators, and many other objects on the Internet. This project enhances on how far IoT can connect devices on different platforms. This will effortlessly help humans in various fields like Home automation, network- ing, data monitoring and others. The evolution of human-machine user interface has drastically changed over the years. The path of advancement has been through key- board, mouse, touch and now it is Voice. This new user interface can be achieved by Alexa Voice Service. Currently, we have very few devices that can be controlled us- ing Alexa. Some of the examples are Philips Hue, WeMo, and Wink. But these are limited to certain hardware. The initial installation and maintenance is expensive. The proposed system connects and controls most of the IoT devices connected to it using Voice.
