ESP32 Voice Controlled Drone with LiteWing using Python Build an ESP32 Voice Controlled Drone with LiteWing using Python

Drones are amazing little machines, but most of the time they are controlled using remotes filled with buttons and joysticks. While experimenting with our LiteWing drone, we started wondering, wouldn’t it be cool if the drone could simply listen to what we say? That idea eventually turned into this project. We built a voice controlled drone using ESP32 for the…

Interactive Voice Response System Using ESP32 GeoLinker ESP32 Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System with GeoLinker Integration

Nowadays, automation has become a common part of our daily lives. From simple tasks like operating a coffee machine to creating code for complex applications, many processes are now automated. However, most systems used for controlling devices depend on internet connections, mobile applications, or cloud platforms. In many places, internet availability may be poor or…

Petoi Bittle X V2 robotic dog with ESP32 board and sensor expansion features Petoi Bittle X V2: An ESP32 Robot Dog That Can Even Backflip on Command

Robotics just got a whole lot more exciting and a whole lot more accessible. Petoi's Bittle X V2 is a palm-sized quadruped robot dog powered by the BiBoard V1, a custom ESP32-based board that packs serious intelligence into a surprisingly compact frame. With nine degrees of freedom delivering smooth, lifelike movement, an interactive back touch sensor that literally responds when you pet it,…

Low-Cost Offline Voice Recognition Module Alternatives to VC-02 Low-Cost Offline Voice Recognition Module Alternatives to VC-02

Voice control technology has become an important part of modern human-machine interaction. It allows users to control electronic devices and systems using simple spoken commands instead of traditional input methods such as buttons, switches, or touch screens. This type of interaction makes devices easier to use, more accessible, and more convenient in many…

Voice Activated LED Controller with Touch Interface Using ESP32S3 Box 3 Voice Activated LED Controller with Touch Interface Using ESP32S3 Box 3

Voice control has become an integral part of modern smart home automation. In this tutorial, we build a voice-controlled LED system using the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 development board, combining wake word detection, speech recognition, touch interface, and audio feedback to create an intelligent control system. The code will be based on the factory example provided by…

Speechless Home Automation with ESP32-S3 Box 3 Speechless Home Automation with ESP32-S3 Box 3

By Arun Kumar

Human–machine interaction today is heavily centered around speech.

Voice assistants, smart speakers, and voice-controlled home automation systems assume that the user can speak clearly and consistently.

However, this assumption excludes an important group of users:

People with speech impairments Individuals who are temporarily unable to speak Users with…
HomePod S3 - A Smart Desk companion HomePod S3 - A Smart Desk companion

By Rohan Barnwal

HomePod S3 is a  Smart Desk Companion that combines everyday utilities into one compact offline-first device designed to sit permanently on your desk. The goal of this project was to answer a simple but important question:

If a small device stays on your desk all day, how can it…

ESP32 Offline Voice Recognition Project ESP32 Offline Voice Recognition Using Edge Impulse

Voice recognition is becoming an essential part of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing us to control, monitor, and interact with devices hands-free. At its core,  ESP32 speech to text works by capturing audio through a microphone, processing it, and converting it into text that devices can understand. This text is then used to trigger commands, just like how…

Espressif EchoEar Enables Voice-Controlled AI Development EchoEar by Espressif: An Open-Source AI Kit for Voice and Smart Home Control

Espressif has launched a new kit called EchoEar, a smart AI development kit. The demo application acts as a voice assistant. It listens to what you say, understands it, and responds naturally. It shows that it can go beyond talking like a human; it can even sing. The built-in conversational AI allows it to mimic human-like flaws and fillers like “like” and “you know”. 

The…

Open-Source Prosthetic Hand Open-Source Prosthetic Hand with 19 DOF

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have developed an Open-Source Prosthetic Hand that replicates human dexterity with 19 degrees of freedom (DOF). The device utilizes shape-memory alloy (SMA) actuators, which function as artificial muscles. These actuators offer a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing the prosthetic to achieve…

Automate Your Home with Voice Control DIY Smart Window Blinds: Automate Your Home with Voice Control

Automating your home makes everyday tasks easy to manage and saves time. Here a creator has built a fully automated voice-controlled window blind that works without WiFi or cloud services. As a result, the maker was able to create a simple yet effective home automation project that seamlessly integrates voice recognition into everyday life.
