A mis tutores por la paciencia que han tenido y las habilidades que me han enseñado. RESUMEN La interacción Humano-Robot es una parte casi tan importante en la creación de los robots como el diseño físico o la programación asociada. Por esta razón surge la necesidad de hacer de esta interacción lo más sencilla y amistosa posible. Desde la antigüedad, la forma de comunicación utilizada por el ser humano, ha sido mediante sonidos. Estos sonidos se han convertido a lo largo de los años en un sistema complejo con reglas, lógica y palabras para describir el mundo que rodea a los humanos: “EL LENGUAJE”. Por esta razón, la manera más sencilla de comunicación es mediante la voz. -
