Web-based speech-controlled robot

The next project we will discuss is to control a robot from a web browser using speech commands. It enables teleoperation of the robot using a button interface and speech. If we are not interested in moving the robot with voice commands, we can try moving the robot using buttons.

We can assign a set of voice commands in this application, and when a voice command is given, the robot will perform the corresponding task.

In this application, we are using basic commands such as move forward, move backward, turn left, and turn right to move the mobile robot. We will demo this application using the TurtleBot simulation.

Prerequisites

We need a few things installed for the proper working of this application.

We need to install the apache2 webserver to run this application. We can install it using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

This project is actually adapted from a project from roswebtools. The current project can send the command velocity to...
