Story

The project is to make an autonomous driving robot commanded by voice.

Inputs:

LIDAR 360°

9 DOF IMU

Triple Microphone

Rotary encoder

Outputs:

PPM to drive motors

Speaker

The robot will:

Use foreign API to achieve voice recognition and speaking. Using the high level data to understand commands.

Use wheels to move

Use inputs to "locate" itself in space and the triple microphone allows it to know where the commands are coming from.
