Better Drumming Through Calibration: Techniques for Pre-Performance Robotic Percussion Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 variety of such techniques are introduced and evaluated and the results of the optimized solenoid-based percussion systems are presented and compared with output from non-calibrated systems.

The HandSolo: A Hand Drum Controller for Natural Rhythm Entry and Production
The majority of electronic percussion controllers on the market today are based on location-oriented striking techniques, resulting in a“finger drumming”interaction paradigm, that is both fundamentally eclectic as well as imposingly “controllerist”. The few controllers that allow hand-drumming techniques also invariably conform to region-based triggering design, or, in trade-off for expressivit...
متن کاملImitation Framework for Percussion
We present a framework for imitation of percussion performances with parameter-based learning for accurate reproduction. We constructed a robotic setup involving pull-solenoids attached to drum sticks which communicate with a computer through a microcontroller. The imitation framework allows for parameter adaptation to different mechanical constructions by learning the capabilities of the overa...

CONTEXT Drum circles have been part of healing rituals in many cultures throughout the world since antiquity. Although drum circles are gaining increased interest as a complementary therapeutic strategy in the traditional medical arena, limited scientific data documenting biological benefits associated with percussion activities exist. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of group-drumming music t...
متن کاملThe production of bimanual percussion in 12- to 24-month-old children.
Bimanual coordination represents a complex self-organizing system that is subject to both internal and contextual constraints. Although there has been interest in examining bimanual development throughout the lifespan, few data exist relative to the bimanual activity of children between 1 and 4 years of age. The study reported here represents an initial effort to address this gap. Twenty-seven ...

Building performance simulation is being increasingly deployed beyond the building design phase to support efficient building operation. Specifically, the predictive feature of the simulation-assisted building systems control strategy provides distinct advantages in view of building systems with high latency and inertia. Such advantages can be exploited only if model predictions can be relied u...
