Linux robot play the clarinet

by Clair on June 20th, 2008

There are students from NICGA and the University of NSW who made a clarinet that could be operated by a computer. The description of the robot is that there’s an embedded computer that is connected to brass plungers with rubber nylon feet to control the keys and mouthpiece of the internet. They used Gumstix boards to make the project and those used the Open Embedded Linux distribution. It played “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “Bolero” — the judge admitted that it doesn’t seem quite as “warm” as a human musician playing .

That sounds really amazing, right? :D You could even view a video clip of the robot in action. For more details you could refer to the article in Computerworld.
