Real-World Applications

AI voice interfaces built for your product and site

mpWAV provides the integrated voice interface stack — single-microphone noise removal, multi-microphone echo and noise preprocessing, wake-word detection, sound source localization, speech separation, speaker diarization, on-device speech recognition, and a conversational LLM.

For product environments as different as robots, kiosks, vehicles, appliances, smart devices, and meeting systems, we select the required technologies and connect them into one working architecture.

Technology Matched to the Environment

How does the right voice technology differ by industry?

mpWAV analyzes your product's microphone count, speaker output, user position, number of speakers, noise environment, and service goal to compose the right combination of voice technologies.

Earbuds with limited microphone options start from mpNC; multi-channel robots from mpAEC, mpBeamforming, and mpLocalization; meetings from mpSeparation and mpDiarization; conversational kiosks from mpASR and mpLLM.

We don't force one generic algorithm onto every product — we design the voice stack around the product's conditions.

Robotics

So robots detect the user's call and position — and respond in real noise

Robots run motors and cooling fans while delivering prompts and responses through their own speakers.

Users may call from any direction, not just the front, while nearby conversation and room reflections also enter the microphones.

mpWAV connects echo cancellation, multi-microphone noise removal, wake-word detection, localization, and recognition-plus-dialogue into the robot's complete voice interface.

mpAEC

Removes echo from the robot's own prompts and responses.

mpBeamforming·mpAB

Removes motor, fan, and nearby-conversation noise, strengthening the target voice.

mpWWD

Detects the wake word and activates the robot's listening state.

mpLocalization

Estimates the direction or position of the user's voice.

mpASR

Converts commands into text or robot control commands.

mpLLM

Interprets natural-language commands, questions, and dialogue context.

Conversational Kiosk

From accurate recognition in store noise to conversational automated ordering

Accurate recognition in store noise is essential for kiosk voice ordering.

On top of that, users phrase menus and options in many ways, missing information requires follow-up questions, and the final result must reach the ordering system.

mpWAV connects a linear microphone array and multi-channel audio I/O hardware, mpAB preprocessing, mpASR recognition, and mpLLM to deliver dialogue generation and automated ordering.

Linear mic array & multi-channel audio I/O HW

Captures the user's speech in front of the kiosk on multiple channels.

mpAB

Removes store conversation, background music, and kiosk prompt echo, enhancing the user's voice.

mpASR

Converts menu names, options, quantities, and order utterances into text.

mpLLM

Interprets intent and context to understand the order, asking follow-up questions for missing information.

Automotive and Mobility

From wake word to natural-language commands, amid driving noise and car audio

A car cabin combines engine and road noise, HVAC, music, and passenger conversation at once.

The voice interface must cancel car audio echo, recognize the wake word, identify which seat or direction spoke, and then understand commands and natural-language requests.

mpAEC

Removes echo from car audio and voice prompts.

mpBeamforming·mpAB

Removes driving noise and passenger conversation, enhancing the user's voice.

mpWWD

Detects the automotive wake word.

mpLocalization

Home Appliances, Smart Devices and Earbuds

AI voice technology for devices with limited microphone options

Earbuds, wearables, and small smart devices often cannot fit multiple microphones due to size, layout, and power constraints.

mpNC removes ambient noise from a single microphone input, making voice input improvement and a voice interface feasible on single-mic products.

mpNC

Reduces everyday ambient noise from a single microphone input and enhances the user's voice.

mpWWD

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about mpWAV applications

Robots, kiosks, vehicles, home appliances, smart devices and earbuds, meetings and voice chat, factory acoustic anomaly detection, and hearing assistance.

Defense and special environments are handled as dedicated hardware and co-development areas.

mpNC — noise removal from a single microphone.

Earbuds, wearables, and small smart devices, where size, component layout, and power rule out an array.

If your product can take several microphones, mpBeamforming removes more noise.

Yes — the two work together.

mpWWD detects the wake word while mpLocalization uses multi-microphone input to estimate the direction or position of the voice.

Yes.

mpAB removes store noise and prompt echo, mpASR converts speech to text, and mpLLM interprets menu, options, quantity, and context.

The real ordering API and target hardware still need validation.

Yes — there is a demo video in the meetings and voice chat section of this page.

It shows mpSeparation splitting speech by speaker while several people talk over each other in noise.

Add mpDiarization to work out who spoke when and mpASR on top, and you get a per-speaker transcript.

Five things decide it: microphone count, whether the product has a speaker, distance to the user, how many people speak at once, and the final feature.

Earbuds have one microphone, so mpNC. A robot has both its own speaker and motor noise, so mpAB plus mpWWD and mpLocalization.

The per-industry sections above set out each combination — and if yours is not there, tell us the product conditions and we will put one together.

No.

Depending on microphone count, speakers, user position, number of talkers, and required features, you can select only what you need.

Yes.

Starting from the usage scenario and required voice features, we can review microphone structure, the technology combination, and data collection conditions.

Robots, kiosks, mobility, home appliances, smart devices, hearing assistance, meetings and voice chat, defense, and factory anomaly detection — as AI drives voice interfaces into more categories, the technology applies to nearly any field.
