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.

A robust and reliable path recognition system is one necessary component for the autonomous navigation of a mobile robot to help determining its current position in its navigation map. This paper describes a computer visual path-recognition system using on-board video camera as vision-based driving assistance for an autonomous navigation mobile robot. The common problem for a visual system is that its reliability was often influenced by different lighting conditions. Here, two different image processing methods for the path detection were developed to reduce the effect of the luminance: one is based on the RGB color model and features of the path, another is based on the HSV color model in the absence of luminance.

In this paper, a new method is proposed where the vision and ultrasonic sensor are used to recognize obstacles and to obtain its position and size. Ultrasonic snsors are used to obtain the actual navigation path width of the mobile robot. In conjunction with camera images of the path, recognition of obstacles and the determination of its distance, direction, and width are carried out. The characteristics of the sensors and the mobile robots used generally make it difficult to recognize all environments; accordingly, a restricted environment is employed for this study.

최근, 많은 연구자들이 KLT를 이용한 통계적 처리방법으로 화자인식을 수행하고 있으나, 통계적 처리방법의 개인성 포함정도와 음성의 동적인 발성속도는 화자인식율의 저하요인이 되고 있다. 본연구에서는 각 화자의 직교인자에 개인성을 강조하기 위하여 화자의 고유치를 가중치로 한 가중직교인자와 음성의 동적인 시간특성을 정규화하는 DTW의 최적경로를 이용한 화자인식방법을 연구하였다. 이방법을 확인하기 위하여 종래의 통계적 처리에 의한 화자인식, 최적경로와 최적경로와 가중직교인자를 이용한 화자인식의 결과를 비교한 결과, 종래의 방법보다 우수한 화자인식율을 얻어 그 유효성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a path generation algorithm that uses sensor scannings is described. A scanning algorithm for recognizing the ambient environment of the Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) that uses the information from the sensor platform is proposed. An algorithm for computing the real path and obstacle length is developed by using a scanning method that controls rotating of the sensors on the platform. The AGV can recognize the given path by adopting this algorithm. As the AGV with two-wheel drive constitute a nonholonomic system, a linearized kinematic model is applied to the AGV motor control. An optimal controller is designed for tracking the reference path which is generated by recognizing the path pattern. Based on experimental results, the proposed algorithm that uses scanning with a sensor platform employing only a small number of sensors and a low cost controller for the AGV is shown to be adequate for path generation.

This paper describes the construction of an autonomous mobile robot with functions of collision avoidance and speech recognition that is used for teaching path of the robot. The human voice as a teaching method provides more convenient user-interface to mobile robot. For safe navigation, the autonomous mobile robot needs abilities to recognize surrounding environment and avoid collision. We use u1trasonic sensors to obtain the distance from the mobile robot to the various obstacles. By navigation algorithm, the robot forecasts the possibility of collision with obstacles and modifies a path if it detects dangerous obstacles. For these functions, the robot system is composed of four separated control modules, which are a speech recognition module, a servo motor control module, an ultrasonic sensor module, and a main control module. These modules are integrated by CAN(controller area network) in order to provide real-time communication.
