HOW TO MAKE AN
Build an Amazon Alexa-controlled robot using the Raspberry Pi,
allowing you to operate it with just your voice
inally, a Raspberry Pi robot to do your
bidding, controlled only by the sound of
your voice! Amazon Alexa software can be
put on the Raspberry Pi robot, the GoPiGo. In this
project, we’ll create an Alexa-based robot that will
respond to voice commands, as well as answer your
questions. You can ask Alexabot “How hot is it in
Dubai?” or “What’s the weather like in London?”.
What makes Alexabot really interesting is that you
can order it around with your voice, using the Alexa
Voice Service (AVS).
The first step towards robot world domination
and building our Amazon Alexa-controlled robot
is to set up AlexaPi.
