Gil Weinberg and Scott Driscoll of Georgia Tech developed a robot that can improvise rhythms as it hears music:
Haile is a robotic percussionist that can listen to live players, analyze their music in real-time, and use the product of this analysis to play back in an improvisational manner. It is designed to combine the benefits of computational power and algorithmic music with the richness, visual interactivity, and expression of acoustic playing. We believe that when collaborating with live players, Haile can facilitate a musical experience that is not possible by any other means, inspiring players to interact with it in novel expressive manners, which leads to novel musical outcome.

In my college there is an annual robotics competition……. the robots there can do line tracking, plus precision ball throwing and catching……….. this drum thing is not so dificult…. looks interesting hopefully i ll build it in a couple of months for the next competition
hmm cool robot…. :p

@nomi is your dad
when youre done building a robot like that come to me …and it looks interesting to you ??? wow we here at Techtified are honoured that you like it.
this is really interesting! the robot itself isn’t that amazing, just a few servos on a fancy structure, but the code running it must be incredible. i wonder how strict it is, precisely. will it repeat itself if you replicate your own beat?
also, with a bit of refining, you could probably do something with any instrument. robotic accompaniment based off of a smiler software would be interesting to see.
Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.
Interesting, I`ll quote it on my site later.
