Deep Robotics

Customer Service Automation

Deep Robotics needed dependable long-distance voice interaction for its quadruped robots, but far-field use in noisy, reverberant 2-5 meter environments made wake-word detection and instruction accuracy difficult.

The robot supports 360-degree far-field sound-source localization.
Wake-word recognition exceeded 90% under high background noise.
Within 5 meters, sound-source localization reaches ±15 degrees precision.

Reported impact

Business outcome

Deep Robotics improved the realism and reliability of robot interaction, gained stronger wake-word and localization performance in noisy environments, and reduced the amount of internal effort required for acoustic optimization.

Solution

Deep Robotics used Baidu AI Cloud to harden the voice-interaction stack inside the Jueying Lite3 robot. The implementation pairs Baidu's Qianfan model-development and speech stack with an end-to-end speech-language model optimized for intelligent hardware. The voice layer is tuned for far-field human-robot interaction, where low signal-to-noise ratios, moving microphones and variable robot orientation would otherwise break recognition quality. Baidu supplied acoustic-structure optimization, wake-word customization and cloud content integration so Lite3 could support voice wake-up, natural dialogue, body-following scenarios and consumer-style content requests in a single robot experience. In operation, user speech is captured by the robot's microphone array, processed through Baidu's speech and localization pipeline, then passed to the robot interaction logic and connected cloud content services. This let Deep Robotics focus on product behavior and service design while outsourcing the hardest parts of the speech front end to a stack already proven in deployed devices.

Data flow

Voice commands are captured by the robot in 2-5 meter far-field conditions, run through Baidu's speech and localization pipeline for wake-up and recognition, then passed to robot interaction logic and cloud content services so Lite3 can answer, react and guide follow-on behaviors.
