Novosibirsk State University (NSU) has presented the "Komandor" voice assistant, capable of controlling a "smart home" system completely autonomously, without an internet connection. The system can already work with several artificial intelligence models and will be able to analyze user habits in the future, predicting their actions.
The main feature of "Komandor" is that all data remains local, without being transmitted to external servers.
This significantly reduces the risks of hacking and information leakage. This solution is more expensive, but it is necessary for those who are particularly concerned about data protection and do not want the microphone to "eavesdrop" on the house.
The system recognizes commands like "turn on the light", "turn off the fan" or "turn on the lamp in three minutes". It is capable of working with three local AI models: one converts speech to text, the second understands the meaning of the command, and the third performs the action. High computing power is not required for operation - "Komandor" can function even on a Raspberry Pi mini-computer.
In the future, the assistant will be able to control any devices that support standard smart home protocols - HTTP, ZigBee and LoRaWAN. This will ensure compatibility with most "smart" sockets, lamps and household appliances without the need for additional software.
