I am a newbie to robotics.I want to build a robotic arm which can be controlled through voice recognition. I will use SSC32 servo controller to control the servo through my PC. Kindly suggest me the right approach to start the project. I am really confused for should work on Visual studio or MS Robotic Development Studio or something else. Kindly help me out and if possible help me find some quality online material for the begginers for the same.
You might want to start a little simpler, and build on you learned experience. Starting off wanting voice control is bound to be discouraging.
Just build an arm, and control it with PS2 first! After that, you can “graduate” to ROS, MS DC, or whatever.

P.S. Speech isn’t hard, but voice recognition IS!
You probably need to focus on the hard part first, which probably finding/making a voice control program that can input audio voice commands and then output appropriate servo commands on the serial port. The ssc-32 and arm part are fairly straight forward.
That might take a while…
Have some fun first!

What about SSC-32 + BB2 + BAP28 + SayIt(from parallax.com). Its all plug and play…
Just kidding about the plug and play part 
, but the SayIt module looks interesting though if you want to control the arm without any PC with voice recognition software.
Starting with some basic control might be wiser though…
There you go! Otta be able to get that Sayit module up and listening in a few minutes…
(It is worth looking at.)
