By far the most intriguing device ever.
Engineers from Standord University created a live band but with robots that are programmed to play musical instruments such as the piano, drums ans turn table. Their aim was to realise an A.I. musical future with this project. Best part, they only took a month. I was literally blown away, given the short amount of time spent to make this. This inspires me further to dwell into the world of robotics and programming.
While it all seems complicated, the idea and basics behind it is actually very simple. The robotics arms features a 6 axis arm but all of which the angle of movement isn’t at all large. Then there is the intervals at which the arms press the keys/play the instrument. Getting the beats right, is definitely more difficult. But what I think is the hardest, is to get the different axises of an arm to move in one concise motion to deliver an actual action. This is what I’ll probably be stuck with, especially having to sync the other arms together.
