Abstract

In recent years, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for underwater environments have played an important role in research, observation, and military applications, directly facilitating human intervention, without the direct presence of humans in the water. ROVs are typically manually controlled using buttons, necessitating the development of more automated controls. A small keyboard is required for ROV control systems. However, as ROVs become increasingly autonomous, control systems become simpler. This paper reports on a ROV that can be controlled automatically using voice commands. For this ROV control system, a Raspberry Pi module is used as an intermediary, converting voice into text, which is then sent to a Google API database. Furthermore, the Raspberry Pi controls the actuators through its General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) port. This allows the GPIO port to be accessed directly using voice commands and will follow the commands given based on the voice commands. Testing revealed that speech recognition, converted to text, achieved a fairly good accuracy of over 50%. The word “under” achieved the highest accuracy of 80%. However, some words, such as “left,” had the lowest accuracy, at only 18.5%. This is because “left” is more difficult to pronounce than “under.”.
