As the world evolves, almost everything in the world from manufacturing, health care and transport to everything little things in our daily life such as making coffees and cleaning the house relies on machine to get things done. Hence, the importance of the motion control system which drives these machines have been increasing as more and more machines are being created. As the current motion control system in the market can only be used by professional, this project aim to introduce the function of voice command to enable the motion control system to be used by anyone as long as they speak the common language, that is English. The report will first touch on the various major companies in the motion control market and the features found in existing motion control system. After that is the development of the hardware design which includes conceptual design, morphological chart and component selections. Lastly is the developments of the software design and implementation of the function on a simple two-wheeled robot.
