Robot Music: Play It Again, Shimon

Shimon - The Perceptual and Improvisational Robotic Marimba Player
Shimon, the second robotic member of Georgia Tech’s Robotic Musicianship Group, is designed to play the marimba. It utilizes melodic and harmonic perception and improvisation algorithms, adding to the rhythmic improvisation approach taken by Haile, Georgia Tech’s first robotic drummer. Shimon is designed create rich acoustic sound and to provide communicative social cues to its human counterparts. The robot’s head provides fellow musicians visual cues that represent social-musical elements, from beat detection and tonality, to attention and spatial interaction.

How can humans and robots perform live music together, in a fluent and synchronized way, even if the music is structured and precise? In this work I extend my anticipatory approach to time-critical human-robot musical performance. Shimon, a robotic marimba player listens to a human pianist, and plays it part in a a jazz duo.
