Abstract:
Over the last few years we have witnessed rapid research and development in the field of
artificial intelligence and robotics. Each day we get closer to achieving the dream of
building an autonomous humanoid robot with human like abilities. One of the main reasons
for this growth has been the rapid advancement in computing. This research project focuses
on designing and building a humanoid robot development kit powered by a mobile
processor, with the aim of integrating the latest hardware and libraries available to provide
an innovative platform for researchers and developers. We have developed a main
application program which runs on Android Operating System and implements basic
functionalities like speech to text, text to speech, face detection and recognition, response
database, object detection, and depth stream. Users are able to develop their program, which
is installed as plugin application, by integrating provided two way Android Interface
Definition Language (AIDL) and public class methods into their project.
