RT Conference Proceedings T1 Integration of the Alexa assistant as a voice interface for robotics platforms A1 Hidalgo-Paniagua, Alejandro A1 Millán-Alcaide, Andrés A1 Bandera-Rubio, Juan Pedro A1 Bandera-Rubio, Antonio Jesús K1 Informática - Aplicaciones K1 Robótica AB Virtual assistants such as Cortana or Google Assistant are becoming familiar devices in everyday environments, where they are used to control real devices through natural language. This paper extendsthis application scenario, and it describes the use of the Alexa assistant from Amazon through an Echo dot device to drive the behaviour of a robotic platform. The paper focuses on the description of the technologies employed to set such ecosystem. Significantly, the proposed architecture is based, from the remote server to the on-board controllers, in LowEnergy (LE) hardware and a scalable software platform. This approach will ease programmers integrating different platforms, e.g. mobile-based applications to control robots or home-made devices.
