The NAO robot as a Personal Assistant

Abstract

This project has achieved to use the NAO robot to search train and weather information from web pages according to the user’s voice command, and to read the information out in order to interact with the user. When the robot is speaking, the LED lights which are around NAO’s body will twinkle in a turn, this will increase the robot’s friendly and interactive. The main contribution I did is that I achieved the whole project in the NAO robot, in a previous thesis the NAO robot was always tied together with the computer, the running and calculation of the main program are carried out on the computer instead of in the NAO robot. But in this paper, all codes are running in the NAO robot. This contribution further shows the development of artificial intelligence. In future, buying train tickets, booking hotels, making a travel plan are all possible to be done with NAO robot.
