Abstract : The proposed system places a Raspberry Pi at the centre, connected to a microphone, speaker, display, camera, ultrasonic sensors, a motor driver and a wheeled base. A conversational AI layer interprets natural-language requests, while obstacle detection, emergency stop and motor time-outs are kept in local safety logic outside the AI loop. Design considerations, a proposed function-to-module mapping, safety logic and an evaluation plan are presented.

Keywords : Household Robot; Conversational AI; Raspberry Pi; Voice Control; Smart Kitchen; Home Monitoring; Obstacle Avoidance; Autonomous Navigation; Survey.
