List of Registrable Furniture Names
When you register furniture (Registering Furniture and Adding Aliases), the name you give it decides whether you can call it by voice. Pick a name from the preset list below and you can use voice to tell Kachaka to carry or put it away. If you type a custom name with “free text” instead, that item can only be operated by tapping in the app, not by voice.
Why choose a name from the list
Kachaka’s voice recognition only knows the furniture names in its built-in vocabulary. Only when you pick a name from the preset list can Kachaka understand commands like “carry this furniture somewhere.” Free-text names are not in the vocabulary, so they will not be recognized when spoken.
You can also pick several names from the list as aliases for the same item, so different members of the household can call the same robot by whatever name they prefer. For example, one shelf can be called both “shelf” and “drinks cabinet.”
Preset furniture name list
The names below can be registered and used with voice control, grouped by scenario:
Carts and shelves (general)
- Wagon, shelf, side table, serving wagon, kitchen shelf
- Laundry shelf, drinks shelf, snack shelf, stationery shelf, bookshelf, to-read shelf
- Study shelf, secretary shelf, work shelf, tidy-up shelf
- Fitness shelf, kids shelf
By contents (named after what sits on the furniture)
- Tableware, drinks, alcohol, water, seasonings, snacks, grooming set, work tools
- Computer, tablet, stationery, documents, books, tissues
- Trash bin, medicine, cosmetics, remote control, toys, bag, school bag
Care and childcare scenarios
- Next room, gauze, milk, diapers, wet wipes
The available names may change slightly between app versions. Treat the list shown in “Add Furniture” inside the app as authoritative.
Limits of free-text names
For names not on the list, you can use “free text” to set any label you like, but once you use free text, the furniture name can no longer be recognized by voice. None of the following will work (the wake word stays in the original Japanese):
- ✕ “ねぇカチャカ、○○ (furniture) を△△ (destination) に持ってきて” (carry the furniture to a destination)
- ✕ “ねぇカチャカ、○○ (furniture) を持ってきて” (bring the furniture here)
- ✕ “ねぇカチャカ、○○ (furniture) を片付けて” (put the furniture away)
To keep voice control, choose a name from the preset list; to use a custom label, operate that item by tapping in the app or via a shortcut instead.
