作品説明
Full Description |
|
| |
- Automatic musical performance
The robot band consists of five humanoid robots.
The height of the three robots is 80 cm. The
heights of other two robots are 60cm and 40cm.
Every robot has more than 22 servomotors as
joints. Although they are sitting on a chair,
they can stand. Four of them play electronic
drums, two metallophones, and a set of bells.
(The unique drum set is made of acrylic.) One of
them is a singer with voice synthesis. In dark
places, the LED of each robot glows beautifully.
The robots are my original productions. They
look similar but different from each other and
there is only one in the world. I made their
frames with CNC and 3D printer. The servo motors
and a controller are by Japanese maker
KONDO-KAGAKU corp. I also developed a dedicated
software which synchronizes the robots.
The acrylic electronic drums played by a robot
are also original production. Hi hat, cymbal,
snare drum and bass drum are beautifully
designed. Every drum sends signal to the sound
generator when it is hit. (The sound generator
is a commercial product by KORG. It takes
trigger from audio cable and generates drum
sounds.)
All robots are connected to one laptop computer.
A standard MIDI file is loaded into the
dedicated software. A standard MIDI file can be
made by normal musical sequence software. One of
the MIDI channels is assigned to each robot. For
example, data of channel 1 is sent to robot A,
and data of channel 2 is sent to robot B. When
data is played back, commands for controlling
the servomotors from dedicated software are sent
to each robot through a serial cable. The audio
signals of the song are also sent to a voice
synthesis device. (The voice synthesis is a
commercial product by KORG. It generates
VOCALOID Hatune-Miku voice.) For the singer
robot, commands to take the pose are sent
instead of voice data.
Exhibitions of the robot band were held in the
United States, China and Taiwan, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia,Korea as well as in Japan.
These events were introduced in the news of
local TVs in Japan, India and China.
- Robot fortune-telling
One of the robots can perform Japanese
fortune-telling in addition to playing
instruments.
The robot writes a letter of fortune-telling on
paper with a brush.

I used to build battle robots, but I found
building musical robots is more interesting.
Children in any country can understand robot
movement and nursery rhymes.There is no need to
explain.
I would like children to be interested in
building robots and in the future, I want kids
to make robots by themselves.
