متن کاملThe Closed-Loop Robotic Glockenspiel: Improving Musical Robots Using Embedded Musical Information Retrieval
Musical robots provide artists and musicians with the ability to realise complex new musical ideas in real acoustic space. However, most musical robots are created with openloop control systems, many of which require time consuming calibration and do not reach the level of reliability of other electronic musical instruments such as synthesizers. This paper outlines the construction of a new rob...
متن کاملStructural analysis of solar panel cleaning robotic arm
The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (SPV) panels depends upon the amount of solar irradiance and spectral content. SPV panels are being widely used because of their economic and environmental merits. The performance of SPV panels gets degraded due to factors like air pollution, bird droppings, dust, snow accumulation, etc. An automatic and integrated solar panel cleaning robotic arm (SPCRA) wi...
