For robots performing a assistive tasks for the humans, it is crucial to synchronize their speech with their motions, in order to achieve natural and effective human-robot interaction. When a robot's speech is out of sync with their motions, it can cause confusion, frustration, and misinterpretation of the robot's intended meaning. Humans are accustomed to using both verbal and nonverbal cues to understand and coordinate with each other, and robots that can align their speech with their actions can tap into this natural mode of communication. In this research, we propose a language controller for robots to control the pace, tone, and pauses of their speech along with it's motion in the trajectory. The robot's speed is adjusted using an admittance controller based on the force input from the user, and the robot's speech speed is modulated using phase-vocoders.
