A Comparison of Solenoid-Based Strategies for robotic drumming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solenoids are important components of robotic drumming systems and several designs have been proposed. In this paper, we compare different designs in terms of speed and dynamic range and discuss the tradeoffs involved. The evaluation is performed in the context of MahaDeviBot, a custom built 12-armed MIDI controlled mechanical device that performs a variety of Indian folk instruments, including frame-drums, bells, and shakers. To measure speed and dynamic range a haptic robotic feedback system using piezo sensors was built. The evaluation methods presented are modular and can be administered to any hyperinstrument, new interface or robotic system to inform composers about the strengths and limitation of different designs to guide composition and performance.

Better Drumming Through Calibration: Techniques for Pre-Performance Robotic Percussion Optimization
A problem with many contemporary musical robotic percussion systems lies in the fact that solenoids fail to respond linearly to linear increases in input velocity. This nonlinearity forces performers to individually tailor their compositions to specific robotic drummers. To address this problem, we introduce a method of pre-performance calibration using metaheuristic search techniques. A variet...
متن کاملA New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملROBotic Open-architecture Technology for Cognition, Understanding and Behavior
We summarise two human-robot interaction studies investigating a drumming experience with Kaspar, a humanoid child-sized robot, and human participants. Our aim 1 is not to have Kaspar just replicate the human’s drumming, but to engage in a ‘social manner’, i.e. in a call and response turn-taking interaction. The interactions are discussed in terms of imitation, turntaking, and the effect of gen...
متن کاملDesigning an approprate solenoid and magnetic field for the HZDR laser-driven beamline
Nowadays, due to the high costs and large dimensions of the conventional proton accelerators, other optimal methods for producing the proton beam have been studied. Using of Laser-driven proton accelerators is one of the important and new methods. In laser-driven ion acceleration, a highly ultra-intense laser pulse interacts with solid density targets and will create a plasma media that will ac...
متن کاملA scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies
This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...
