3. Sound Detector Your ranging sensor is HC-SR04. This

sensor has a range accuracy of around 3 mm and can
measure noncontactly between 2 and 400 cm. An effect
circuit, a receiver, and an ultrasonic transmitter are
components of every HCSR04 module. The HC-SR04 has
four pins: GND (ground), VCC (power), Trig (trigger), and
Echo (receive).

4. Servo Drive Precise control of angular or linear position,

acceleration, and speed may be achieved using a servo
motor, which can also be a linear actuator or positioner. A
servo can turn around 180 degrees. It functions at a pace of
0.12 seconds per 60 degrees with a torque of 1.8 kg/cm and
an operating voltage of 5 volts.

5. Module for Bluetooth The Bluetooth module has an

average sensitivity of -80dBm and an RF transmit power of
+4dBm. It contains an inbuilt antenna, a foothold
connection, a PIO controller, and a UART interface with
customizable baud rate. In addition to having "0000" as the
default autopairing trap, it automatically reconnects after 30
minutes if it is detached due to being outside of its
connection range.

V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The voice control and obstacle-avoiding robot demonstrated
an 85% accuracy in recognizing voice commands, with an
average response time of 3 seconds. The obstacle detection
system achieved a 90% accuracy in identifying obstacles,
while the robot successfully avoided collisions in 80% of the
encountered scenarios. The integration of voice control and
obstacle avoidance provided a user-friendly experience,
allowing smooth navigation while responding to voice
commands.

VI. FUTURE SCOPE

The future scope for voice control and obstacle avoiding
robots is vast, ranging from enhancing natural language
processing to applications in smart homes, healthcare,
industrial automation, social robotics, and autonomous
vehicles. Continued research and development in these areas
hold the potential to revolutionize human-robot interaction
and bring significant advancements to various fields.

VII. CONCLUSION
For the demonstration, the voice control and obstacle-
avoiding robot project has been successfully conceived and
produced.
A prototype module is constructed for the desired
application, and since the machine is made exclusively of
locally accessible parts and the prototype module may be
used for a number of uses, the findings are deemed adequate.
To turn the design into a functional, genuine system, various
changes must be made. In this design, the robot is operated
by Bluetooth technology, which has an approximate range of
100 meters.
