Home Assistant Robot

Project Title

Home Assistant Robot

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

The robot can be easily moved from one place to another just by giving commands through voice. It is designed in a way that is to detect and recognize a person and objects using camera on top of the robot. It can also follow a person by face tracking. It is also used to detect fire in emergency cases and alert the user. It listens to your command which is given through a microphone. It is connected to speakers to reply. The advantage of using such robot is that it can be used for various purposes like it can be modified quite easily to automate the lights in the house according to the voice command.

Project Objectives

So basically, the need or  purpose due to which this robot is made or the need which made people think about a service robot is that it can be used in many applications which are used in our real life, just like when we are cooking and we have to search a recipe on the internet, by using this type of robot we don’t have to search it by our self. We can simply ask the robot about anything and it will answer logically. It can assist the human at any time. For a robot that performs autonomously, the communication between the person and the robot is the most important factor. A lot of research has been done of these kinds of robot and a lot of work still needs to be done. In order for a robot to communicate and interact with the person, it should also be capable of following that particular person. Keeping this in mind, there should be a capacity in the robot to get information from the surroundings. The primary goal of our work was to design and fabricate a robot that not only tracks the target but also moves towards it while doing the tracking.So basically, the need or  purpose due to which this robot is made or the need which made people think about a service robot is that it can be used in many applications which are used in our real life, just like when we are cooking and we have to search a recipe on the internet, by using this type of robot we don’t have to search it by our self.

Project Implementation Method

In this system, the robot car can be easily moved from one place to another just by giving commands through voice. It is designed in a way that is to detect and recognize a person and objects using camera on top of the robot. It can also follow a person by face tracking. It is also used to detect fire in emergency cases and alert the user. It listens to your command which is given through a microphone. It is connected to speakers to reply. The advantage of using such robot is that it can be used for various purposes like it can be modified quite easily to automate the lights in the house according to the voice command.

Benefits of the Project

Now, we are living in the age of automation, and everything is automated and no one have time for wasting on useless activities that can be performed by some easy methods also. People will prefer the IOT based Solution for their problem. It’s a onetime investment then you will not need to pay a lot of money to serving staff. This solution also doesn’t need any rest time like manpower. You just need to charge once in a day then its work whole day.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Motors:

We were limited to use the High Torque Motors as compared to Simple DC motors. These High Torque motors can carry more load as compared to simple DC motor.

Working time:

Working time is kept 10 hours if the Battery is Fully charged. If we move up to more work time, then we should have to buy expensive and high-quality battery.

Path Follow / Detection:

Path follow is very difficult task for robot as it may pass through many hurdles. we are using photos diodes for path detection which are light sensitive and there is strong lighting in restaurants then it may be difficult for robot to detect its path
