What kind of voice interaction is the smart home needed

Recently tested a smart robot, thought of the current trend in the field of smart home voice  interaction gradually rise, following is the feelings.

The vision of this robot is to work as smart home control center, to achieve the user through the robot voice interaction and the entire control of the smart home system. The test is mainly concerned about the following points

1) appearance, the robot looks very cute, LED display is also very interesting. Texture is good

2) voice interactive function experience is very poor, can only identify Mandarin, and is standard mandarin. Speech recognition accuracy is relatively poor, the algorithm seems to be as long as the user can grab a word in the key words on the busy to feedback. Semantic often ignore the sentence.

3) unable to achieve full duplex voice interaction. Robot in the speech, the user's voice basically did not have the opportunity to be recognized.

4) the biggest problem is that there is no context analysis ability. The user's last sentence context can not be related to the next sentence. Can only do the current part of the identification of this sentence

The use of smart home scene changing, user language is also diverse. The most important thing is to really do without obstacles to interactive voice control, must have the ability to analyze the context of context, the above points if you can not do. Such an intelligent robot can not really become a driving force of smart home, but is a big drag. It's more like a child's toy.
