Description du projet
Créer la nouvelle génération de technologies de commande vocale
Nous sommes entourés dans notre vie quotidienne de centaines de dispositifs intelligents. Nous devons pouvoir disposer d’un moyen simple et naturel pour interagir avec ces technologies. Même si elle est largement acceptée comme alternative, la commande vocale n’est pas encore suffisamment fiable. Le projet XMOS, financé par l’UE, a pour objectif d’approfondir le développement d’interfaces homme-machine utilisant le langage naturel. Cela permettra aux dispositifs de nous reconnaitre et de nous comprendre, et de comprendre le contexte et de pouvoir interagir à l’aide de sons et d’un radar. Les résultats du projet entraineront le développement de dispositifs innovants commandés par la voix qui fourniront une expérience utilisateur de meilleure qualité à un coût initial bas.
Objectif
The “Internet of Things” is adding intelligent capabilities and connectivity to all kinds of objects in our environments. With potentially hundreds of smart devices surrounding us in our everyday, we need easier, more natural ways to interact with these technologies – which free our hands from controls, and help us put down our smartphones with their endless apps and distractions. While voice control is becoming a widely accepted alternative, it is not yet sufficiently robust and reliable for use in many situations.
XMOS are playing a fundamental role in the development of a next generation of human-machine interfaces – using natural language, the highly-developed systems of speech and gestures etc. used when people communicate. Embedded within their customers’ consumer electronics, this will enable devices to recognise and understand us, reading context and quickly interacting like another person would – but anonymously and securely, using sound and radar. XMOS’ capabilities will drive new classes of voice controlled devices, with low upfront cost allowing ubiquitous deployment of voice control, and higher quality user experience.
The experienced XMOS team has successfully commercialised their flexible XCore microprocessor, and is now focussed on voice interfaces as a high-growth sector. XMOS is already a leading provider of far-field voice interface technology, capable of separating a distant voice from noise in our living spaces, and has the most comprehensive portfolio of far-field voice interfaces.
The H2020 project will enable the realisation of the next-generation in XMOS voice control technologies, including a reconfigured architecture with disruptively low upfront cost, and new context recognition capabilities. XMOS will target a serviceable addressable market for IoT devices of $4 billion (CAGR of 32%), including smart TVs and audio equipment, consumer appliances and automotive applications, growing revenue by 20-fold and creating over 200 jobs by 2024.
