But the most important feature is that you can embed it to your product/object but with advanced voice technology, such Far-field Voice Capture, Beamforming, Acoustic Source Localization, Nosie Suppression, De-reverberation and Acoustic Echo Cancellation.

Besides, it's easy to develop another hardware module motor driver.
