Voice Controlled Drone

We've developed a script that enables you to control your Pluto drone using your voice!

  1. Download Pre-trained Voice Model:

    • Visit Vosk Models to download a pre-trained voice model.
    • Recommended models: vosk-model-small-en-us-0.15 or vosk-model-en-in-0.5.

  2. Configure Voice Command Script:

    • Copy the path where you've stored your downloaded model.
    • Paste the path into the voice_cmd.py file located in the "voice" folder.

  3. Run Voice Command Script:

    • Navigate to the "voice" folder.
    • Run the file: voice_cmd.py

Currently, the drone responds to the following voice commands:

  • "hello" to arm the drone.
  • "take off" to initiate takeoff.
  • "land" to initiate landing.

Feel free to customize these commands according to your preferences.
