Cloud based design and implementation of a voice controlled radio transmitter system

This paper presents a cloud based design and implementation of a voice controlled radio transmitter system that can be used in a variety of different consumer electronics. More precisely, this paper looks into the possible upgrade of the traditional radio transmitter-receiver system and incorporates the use of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, so that radio transmitters can now be controlled via voice commands. Furthermore, we take a look at the transformation of a 27.145 MHz remote control toy car and convert it into one that can now be controlled using voice commands by providing an upgrade to the existing system. The proposed system has made use of Amazon Alexa as the voice interface platform and Amazon Web Services as the cloud computing platform, Specifically, the system designed makes use of the Lambda and S3 Service by Amazon Web Service. As the entire system is now cloud based, range issues associated with transmitters and receivers are eliminated. At a high level, the system designed essentially demonstrates a method in which voice commands can now be converted into encoded radio signals, which can then be received by the receiver so that the intended task can be performed by the user.
