RoboMusicKids - Music Education with Robotic Building Blocks

چکیده
Being able to express oneself musically and experiment with music composition is traditionally determined by one’s ability to play an actual instrument with a certain degree of craftsmanship. The lack of skills often makes it difficult to make children and young people experience the joy of musical creativity, which is an essential element in music education. This paper presents a pilot project where modular robotics is used to create a platform for creative musical expression that allows users to experiment with musical genres without any prior musical knowledge or skills.

متن کاملAssembly by Intelligent Scaffolding ; CU-CS-1080-11
We propose a novel class of algorithms for autonomously assembling structures from inert building blocks guided by intelligent scaffolding components. Intelligent scaffold units are equipped with sensing, actuation, computation and communication abilities and facilitate the attachment of inert building blocks to the structure. After attaching an inert building block, the scaffold structure reco...

متن کاملSoundStrand: a Tangible Interface for Composing Music with Limited Degrees of Freedom by ARCHIVES
This thesis presents SoundStrand, a novel tangible interface for composing music. A new paradigm is also presented one that allows for music composition with limited degrees of freedom, and therefore is well suited for music creation through the use of tangible interfaces. SoundStrand is comprised of a set of building blocks that represent pre-composed musical segments. By sequentially connecti...
متن کاملSpiking neural building block robot with Hebbian learning
We developed spiking neural network control for a modular robotic system. The modular robotic system can be easily assembled by a user who is allowed to make overall behaviors by assembling the physical structure made up of a number of modules. The control of each module (building block) is implemented as a spiking neuron and action potentials are sent through the communication channels of the ...
