SUMMARY
Human–robot interaction (HRI) is becoming more important nowadays. In this paper, a low-cost communication system for HRI is designed and implemented on the Scout robot and a robotic face. A hidden Markov model-based voice command detection system is proposed and a non-native database has been collected by Persian speakers, which contains 10 desired English commands. The experimental results confirm that the proposed system is capable to recognize the voice commands, and properly performs the task or expresses the right answer. Comparing the system with a trained system on the Julius native database shows a better true detection (about 10%).
