Abstract
Complexity of voice based control of tele-robots increases when used in collaborative multi-presence systems, as tele-robot fail to differentiate between operator and observers, and hence may end up executing command from wrong person. Further, the tele-robot ends up losing energy as it listens continuously to speech from multiple people, which may or may not contain commands. Embodiments disclosed herein provide a telepresence system in which an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) component hosted on a cloud receives and processes speech signals, infers commands, and only the inferred commands are transmitted to the tele-robot, thereby causing energy saving at the tele-robot end as it doesn't have to listen to all the speech from all the operator and observers for the execution of the voice based navigation control command. Further, a dedicated channel is established between the operator at any instance and the tele-robot, enabling direct communication between the operator and the tele-robot.
