Abstract
Speech recognition is one of the most convenient forms of human beings
engaging in the exchanging of information. In this research, we want to make
robots understand human language and communicate with each other through
the human language, and to realize man–machine interactive and humanoid–
robot interactive. Therefore, this research mainly studies NAO robots’ speech
recognition and humanoid communication between double -humanoid robots.
This paper introduces the future direction and application prospect of speech
recognition as well as its basic method and knowledge of speech recognition
fields. This research also proposes the application of the most advanced
method—establishment of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for the continuous
word recognition in the speech recognition of NAO robots. In addition, this
paper focuses on the establishment of a modelling algorithm and the extraction
method of speech characteristics and the existing problems. Meanwhile, this
research demonstrates the experiments of the NAO robot structured function
and the voice interactive of double-humanoid robots. Through the use of an
NAO-robot-controlled platform, Choregraphe software, and combined calling of
Baidu speech recognition, the communication between double-humanoid robots
has been achieved. Besides, a series of programming designs have realized the
interactive functions such as NAO robots’ daily dialogue and communication,
arithmetic function (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), singing,
making movement, and rhetorical-pattern dialogues. Finally, it shows the
significance and contribution of research of interaction between double -
humanoid robots.
