The robot can convert human speech to text using the speech recognition system and can convert textual data to speech using speech synthesis. We have already discussed these processes in the previous chapter. The AI we will discuss here is contained in between these two blocks. After receiving the text data from a speech to text conversion stage, it is sent to the AIML interpreter. The AIML interpreter retrieves the most meaningful reply from the AIML dataset.
