Speech Recognition Robot Tasks Marketing: Develop an elevator pitch for your robot.  Research what an elevator pitch is. Design a one page advertisement for your robot. Design signs that explain how your robot works. Build expressive eyes, mouth, arms, and body. Write and record the script you want your robot to lead  (man - machine interaction)  Engineering: Build the structure. Build a gear train that drives two shafts. Build a mechanism that makes eyes, mouth and arms move.  Programming: Write a program to execute the script or man - machine interaction.  Document everything in your lab books.   www.build-it-yourself.com

Speech Recognition Robot Robot / Human Script When visitor is detected, say: Greetings! My name is ... Welcome to Colegio Las Hayas. While you are waiting, would you like to ... Please answer, "Si" or "Huh, Huh" to my question. If "Si" then say: If "Huh, Huh" then say:   www.build-it-yourself.com
