 ABSTRACT

The project entitled "Voice Control Car using Arduino" aims to build a car that reacts in
accordance to the corresponding voice command of the user. Simple voice commands like left,
right, forward, back, and stop is used for various movement of the car. The idea is to first
design the hardware prototype and then develop the entire working code. At the heart of the
car is Arduino UNO, which acts as the brain of the car. To the Arduino UNO are all the other
hardware interfaced. The code is then developed, simulated, and fed to the Arduino UNO using
the IDE. The car is then connected and controlled wirelessly via a smartphone. This wireless
coordination is accomplished with the help of a HC-05 Bluetooth module. Voice commands
are given to the robotic car via the android application installed in the smartphone Additionally,
an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is also interfaced, which when on detecting an obstacle stops
the car, henceforth, preventing the collision.

Voice Recognition: Implement a voice recognition system capable of accurately

interpreting user commands.

Microcontroller Integration: Utilize an Arduino microcontroller to process voice

commands and control the car's motors.

Motor Control: Design a motor driver circuit to interface the Arduino with the car's
motors, enabling precise movement.

User-Friendly Interface: Create a simple and intuitive user interface for seamless
operation.

Voice Recognition Module: The voice recognition module captures the user's voice
commands and processes them to identify the specific instructions. This module is
trained with a set of pre-defined commands such as "forward, "backward," "left," and
"right."

Arduino Microcontroller

The Arduino Uno acts as the brain of the system, receiving signals
from the voice recognition module. It processes these signals and converts them
into control commands for the motor driver.

Motor Driver Circuit

The L298N motor driver is used to interface the Arduino with

the car's DC motors. It receives control signals from the Arduino and adjusts
the direction and speed of the motors accordingly. DC Motors and Chassis:
The car is equipped with four DC motors mounted on a chassis. These
motors are responsible for the movement of the car, driven by the signals
received from the motor driver.

Power Supply

The entire system is powered by a battery pack, providing the necessary voltage and
current to the Arduino, motor driver, and motors.

Implementation

Hardware Assembly: The components are assembled on the chassis,

ensuring a secure and compact setup. The Arduino, motor driver, and voice
recognition module are mounted on the chassis, and the DC motors are
connected to the motor driver.

Software Development:

The software involves writing code for the Arduino to interface with the
voice recognition module and motor driver. The code includes libraries for
voice recognition and motor control, and functions to interpret voice
commands and control motor movements.

4.Methodology for Voice Control Car

A voice-controlled car uses a combination of components to recognize and execute voice
commands, including:

• Microphone: A high-quality microphone that minimizes background noise to capture

clear voice commands
• Processing unit: A microcontroller or embedded system that converts the microphone's
audio input into recognizable commands
• Actuators: Execute the desired actions based on the recognized voice commands

5.4DC Moter
A voice-controlled car's DC motor is driven by a microcontroller that receives
decoded voice commands. The voice commands are converted into digital signals
and sent to the microcontroller via a Bluetooth module. The microcontroller then
drives the DC motors to perform the desired task.

5.5Battery pack
A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery
cells. They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired
voltage and current.

5.6 Bluetooth Module :

A Bluetooth module is a small electronic device that enables wireless communication

between various devices using Bluetooth technology. It typically includes a Bluetooth
chip, antenna, radio frequency (RF) circuit, and support circuits, simplifying the
integration of Bluetooth communications into devices

• Fig. 6: Bluetooth Module

5.7 Jumper wires and cables

A jumper wire is an electric wire that connects remote electric circuits used for printed circuit
boards. By attaching a jumper wire on the circuit, it can be short-circuited and short-cut (jump)
to the electric circuit.

5.8 Switch
A switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an
electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another.

 CONCLUSION
In this project the voice control was designed for a hoe assistant robot. The order of
speech signals is automatically transmitted via a wired network to the server. The car is
built primarily on a platform based on a microcontroller. Evaluation of the output of the
original tests is carried out with promising implications. Possible developments to
feasible technologies in households, schools, vehicle networks and businesses are also
addressed. Several areas that may additionally be discussed are the impact of noise on
speech to textual content translation. The accent of the speaker no longer affects the
robotic activity because speech commands are interpreted using a cloud-based server
that works independently of the speaker accent. The use of renewable energy sources
for robotic operation would not only increase the value of robotic energy, but would
also be environmentally friendly. Solar cells can be a suitable power source to use. The
design of the robotic assistant is ideal for applications ranging from chemical
manufacturing to comfortable home circumstances. Accuracy of detecting a voice
command correctly is found to be 75%.
