Description
This workshop will focus on the use of robotic systems in the performance and analysis of music. Presentations will touch on robotic technologies and previous applications in musical contexts, including aspects of robotic music player systems, speakers systems that include robotic controls to synthesize player movement, and the use of robotic systems as mechanical players to isolate and precisely control various aspects of the player / instrument interface. A discussion session will allow CIRMMT members to present their current and future interests in using robots for musical purposes.
