Voice Command QA & Audio Transcription for Robotic Actuation (Whisper AI)
This project involved the integration and rigorous evaluation of the OpenAI Whisper model to actuate an assistive robotic hand. The primary scope was to perform Quality Assurance (QA) and validate the accuracy of speech-to-text transcriptions for hardware control. My specific tasks included testing various audio inputs, analyzing the AI's transcription accuracy, identifying edge-case misinterpretations, and optimizing the logical mapping between the AI's text output and the C/C++ microcontroller execution. Quality measures adhered to included maintaining near-zero hallucination rates for safety-critical robotic movements and ensuring low-latency processing for real-time physical actuation.
