Abstract

The paper describes voice controlled multimodal assistive system with fuzzy control. Voice commands are often most convenient way to control various assistive tools. For full functionality voice commands need interpretation. The detection of voice boundaries in the long audio recording was implemented. The experimental results of fuzzy based indoor navigation system are presented in this article. The fuzzy control strategy presented bellow works on a given trajectory principle. The position of the device, the distance from the trajectory, orientation and control tasks are evaluated according to visual data. Paper presents the control model and algorithm of a real-life prototype.
