Learning Robotics using Python - Second Edition

Speakers/mic

The main function of the robot is autonomous navigation. We will add an additional feature with which the robot can interact with users through speech. The robot can be given commands using voice input and can speak to the user using a text-to-speech (TTS) engine, which can convert text to speech format. A microphone and speakers are essential for this application. There is no particular selection that we will recommend for this hardware. If the speaker and mic are USB compatible, then that will be great. One of the other alternatives is a Bluetooth headset.
