- Abstract
- This paper is concerned with a text-independent speaker identification/verification and speech recognition for intelligent service robots with humanlike auditory system. The objective of this paper is to develop and integrate audio-based Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) components that can naturally interact between human and robot through audio information obtained from microphones in the noisy environments. Furthermore, we can naturally communicate with intelligent service robot through a Korean-based spontaneous speech recognition and text-independent speaker recognition to provide a customized service such as daily life schedule and selection of preferable TV channel for the identified speaker. The robot platform used in this study is WEVER, which is a network-based intelligent service robot developed at Intelligent Robot Research Division in Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute (ETRI). This robot refers to an Ubiquitous Robotic Companion (URC) that provides necessary services anytime and anywhere. The experimental results obtained for ETRI speaker database reveal that the approach presented in this paper yields a good identification (94.5%) and verification (FAR: 0.014%, FRR: 0.067%) performance within 3 meter.
