[Jeff] sent in a build of a voice controlled robot he just finished based on the Android ADK and an iRobot Create.
The robot is able to obey voice commands telling it where to go. currently the robot responds to forward, reverse, left, right, stop, and ‘whistle while you work.’ It’s a creative use of the Android ADK with some evident applications, but this project really shines with the write up on instructables. It’s rare that we’ve seen a project so well documented; it’s a terrific project for someone who wants to get their feet wet in the world of robotics.
[Jeff]’s write up goes through the steps of hooking up the ADK board to iRobot and supplying all the electronic necessities. [Jeff] graciously supplied the code for his robot if any individual would like to add to his project.
The utmost goal [Jeff] is currently working towards is something akin to a TurtleBot, while keeping the voice control of the robot. In all, a very great project.
