In this paper, we present a study on the real-time implementation of mobile robot to which the interactive voice recognition technique is applied. The speech command utters the sentential connected word and asserted through the wireless remote control system. We implement an automatic distance speech command recognition system for voice-enabled services interactively. We construct a baseline automatic speech command recognition system, where acoustic models are trained from speech utterances spoken by a microphone. In order to improve the performance of the baseline automatic speech recognition system, the acoustic models are adapted to adjust the spectral characteristics of speech according to different microphones and the environmental mismatches between cross talking and distance speech. We illustrate the performance of the developed speech recognition system by experiments. As a result, it is illustrated that the average rates of proposed speech recognition system shows about 95% above.

This study examines the recognition of the user's sound command based on speech recognition and natural language processing, and develops the natural language interface agent which can analyze the recognized command. The natural language interface agent consists of speech recognizer and semantic interpreter. Speech recognizer understands speech command and transforms the command into character strings. Semantic interpreter analyzes the character strings and creates the commands and questions to be transferred into the application program. We also consider the problems, related to the speech recognizer and the semantic interpreter, such as the ambiguity of natural language and the ambiguity and the errors from speech recognizer. This kind of natural language interface agent can be applied to the telephony environment involving all kind of communication media such as telephone, fax, e-mail, and so on.

This paper is a study on the implementation of speech recognition mobile robot to which the interactive speech recognition techniques is applied. The speech command uttered the sentential connected word and is asserted through the wireless mic system. This speech signal transferred LPC-cepstrum and shorttime energy which are computed from the received signal on the DSP board to notebook PC. In notebook PC, DP matching technique is used for recognizer and the recognition results are transferred to the motor control unit which output pulse signals corresponding to the recognized command and drive the stepping motor. Grammar network applied to reduce the recognition speed of the recogniger, so that real time recognition is realized. The misrecognized command is revised by interface revision through the conversation with mobile robot. Therefore, user can move the mobile robot to the direction which user wants.

With recent development of speech recognition technology and multimedia computer systems, more potential applications of voice will become a reality. In this paper, we implement speech interface on the windows95 environment for practical use fo multimedia computers with voice. Speech interface is made up of three modules, that is, speech input and detection module, speech recognition module, and application module. The speech input and etection module handles th elow-level audio service of win32 API to input speech data on real time. The recognition module processes the incoming speech data, and then recognizes the spoken command. DTW pattern matching method is used for speech recognition. The application module executes the voice command properly on PC. Each module of the speech interface is designed and examined on windows95 environments. Implemented speech interface and experimental results are explained and discussed.

The biggest problem in the AI field, which has become a hot topic in recent years, is how to deal with the lack of training data. Since manual data construction takes a lot of time and efforts, it is non-trivial for an individual to easily build the necessary data. On the other hand, automatic data construction needs to handle data quality issue. In this paper, we introduce a method to automatically extract the data required to develop Korean speech command recognizer from the web and to automatically select the data that can be used for training data. In particular, we propose a modified ResNet model that shows modest performance for the automatically constructed Korean speech command data. We conducted an experiment to show the applicability of the command set of the health and daily life domain. In a series of experiments using only automatically constructed data, the accuracy of the health domain was 89.5% in ResNet15 and 82% in ResNet8 in the daily lives domain, respectively.

Generally, a mobile robot is moved by original input programs. However, it is very hard for a non-expert to change the program generating the moving path of a mobile robot, because he doesn't know almost the teaching command and operating method for driving the robot. Therefore, the teaching method with speech command for a handicapped person without hands or a non-expert without an expert knowledge to generate the path is required gradually. In this study, for easily teaching the moving path of the autonomous mobile robot, the autonomous mobile robot with the function of speech recognition is developed. The use of human voice as the teaching method provides more convenient user-interface for mobile robot. To implement the teaching function, the designed robot system is composed of three separated control modules, which are speech preprocessing module, DC servo motor control module, and main control module. In this study, we design and implement a speaker dependent isolated word recognition system for creating moving path of an autonomous mobile robot in the unknown environment. The system uses word-level Hidden Markov Models(HMM) for designated command vocabularies to control a mobile robot, and it has postprocessing by neural network according to the condition based on confidence score. As the spectral analysis method, we use a filter-bank analysis model to extract of features of the voice. The proposed word recognition system is tested using 33 Korean words for control of the mobile robot navigation, and we also evaluate the performance of navigation of a mobile robot using only voice command.

In emergency dispatching at 119 Command & Dispatch Center, some inconsistencies between the 'standard emergency aid system' and 'dispatch protocol,' which are both mandatory to follow, cause inefficiency in the dispatcher's performance. If an emergency dispatch system uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) to process the dispatcher's protocol speech during the case registration, it instantly extracts and provides the required information specified in the 'standard emergency aid system,' making the rescue command more efficient. For this purpose, we have developed a Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system for 400,000 words to be used for the emergency dispatch system. The 400,000 words include vocabulary from news, SNS, blogs and emergency rescue domains. Acoustic model is constructed by using 1,300 hours of telephone call (8 kHz) speech, whereas language model is constructed by using 13 GB text corpus. From the transcribed corpus of 6,600 real telephone calls, call logs with emergency rescue command class and identified major symptom are extracted in connection with the rescue activity log and National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS). ASR is applied to emergency dispatcher's repetition utterances about the patient information. Based on the Levenshtein distance between the ASR result and the template information, the emergency patient information is extracted. Experimental results show that 9.15% Word Error Rate of the speech recognition performance and 95.8% of emergency response detection performance are obtained for the emergency dispatch system.

Based on deep learning technology, speech recognition method has began to be applied to commercial products, but it is still difficult to be used in the area of VR contents, since there is no easy and efficient way to process the recognized text after the speech recognition module. In this paper, we propose a Korean Language Command System, which can efficiently recognize and respond to Korean speech commands. The system consists of two components. One is a morphological analyzer to analyze sentence morphemes and the other is a retrieval based model which is usually used to develop a chatbot system. Experimental results shows that the proposed system requires only 16% commands to achieve the same level of performance when compared with the conventional string comparison method. Furthermore, when working with Google Cloud Speech module, it revealed 60.1% of success rate. Experimental results show that the proposed system is more efficient than the conventional string comparison method.

In this paper, we describe a Voice Command Web Browser using a variable vocabulary word recognizer that can do Internet surfing with Korean speech recognition on the Web. The feature of this browser is that it can handle the links and menus of the web browser by speech. Therefore, we can use speech interface together with mouse for web browsing. To recognize the recognition candidates dynamically changing according to Web pages, we use the variable vocabulary word recognizer. The recognizer was trained using POW (Phonetically Optimized Words) 3,848 words. So that it can recognize new words which did not exist in training data. The preliminary test results showed that the performance of speaker-independent and vocabulary-independent recognition is 93.8% for 32 Korean words. The Voice Command Web Browser was developed on windows 95/NT using Netscape Navigator and reflected usability test results in order to offer easy interface to users unfamiliar with speech interface. In on-line experiment of speaker-independent and environment-independent situation, Voice Command Web Browser showed recognition accuracy of 90%.

As unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been utilized for military operation, efficient ways for controlling UAV has been necessary. In particular, instead of conventional approach using console control, speech recognition based UAV control is essential for military environments in which rapid command operation is required. But research on this novel approach is not actively studied yet. In this study, we introduce efficient ways of speech recognition system operation for voice-driven UAV control, focusing on mission command control from manned aircraft rather than ground control center. We propose an efficient way of system operation for UAV control in cooperation of aircraft and UAV, and verify its efficiency via speech recognition experiment.
