A robot with mechanical gripper which has the capability of transporting limited sized objects from one place to another with pick-up and drop capabilities. The robot’s responses are based on speech recognition of verbal commands. It used Google speech recognition module in order to understand verbal commands. We also categorized the objects into six specific categories according to the amount of gripping force required to lift the objects. An android application was used to communicate with the robot through Bluetooth communication. The application decodes the human speech into an array of characters which are transmitted to the robot using Bluetooth technology. The robot uses microcontroller which decodes the messages into executable functions. Being a speech responsive mobile robot it can be effectively used to move objects from one place to another by people with disability or handicap.
