Integrating the NAO Robot into intelligent industrial infrastructure _X000B_for real-time operational assistance

Abstract

The study aims to adapt and integrate the NAO Robot into intelligent industrial processes to assist with real-time voice commands. The NAO Robot is a programmable humanoid robot equipped with multispectral sensors, video cameras, microphones, and precision actuators. It is capable of interacting naturally with users through voice, gestures, and autonomous movements, making it ideal for applications in assistance, education, research, and human–industrial process interfacing in intelligent environments. The process proceeds as follows: the human operator issues voice commands to the NAO system via a natural communication interface (a microphone integrated into the robot’s structure). The NAO Robot, equipped with advanced voice processing and semantic interpretation modules, analyzes the recognized commands and determines the appropriate action [3, 4]. In cases of misunderstanding or uncertainty, the NAO Robot can validate or request additional confirmation from the human operator. Depending on the command context, the NAO Robot transmits digital instructions to the execution devices either via the wired Ethernet LAN or the wireless Wi-Fi network. The Industrial Ethernet Controller and the Industrial Wi-Fi Controller receive the digital commands and relay them to the technological equipment or automated production lines (industrial robots, transportation systems, assembly lines, etc.).
