Abstract:
A technique capable of accurately recognizing a voice input from a user and to uniform likelihood of depression of an outer skin is provided. A voice recognition device P includes an exoskeleton 5, a cushion member 6 that has elasticity and covers the exoskeleton 5, an outer skin 7 that covers the cushion member 6, a microphone 3 fixed to the exoskeleton 5, and a voice recognition unit 4 that recognizes a voice obtained by the microphone 3. In a voice input area 11, which is on an outer side of the microphone 3, the cushion member 6 has zero thickness. In a position in the vicinity of the microphone 3 that does not overlap the microphone 3, spring members 13 that are extended from the exoskeleton 5 to the outer skin 7 and are less compressed and deformed than the cushion member 6 are arranged.
