Curiosibot One half of ROBATON

Description: The proposal was to design, build and program a ?robot? that can be consider part of a band. This ?robot? could be controlled by software that can send pre-programed pieces of a song and also send real-time information about the piece that is being play by the musicians. So the main idea is to interact with it. The robot would receive real-time information via MIDI. Curiosibot works with MIDI signals that are sent from Max/MSP to an Arduino Mega board. The board receives the signal and via a patch that I use inside Max. Each of the solenoids reacts to a specific note or MIDI message and I multiply this for the 2 octaves. An electrical current of 24 volts activate each solenoid and thanks to a spring, the metallic bar of the solenoids hit the Crotales. Each one would be physically attached to a note on the acoustic instrument, so when the note is activated on the program, it hits the note on the instrument. I preferred to use solenoids because they have a time of reaction much faster than a servo or other types or devices. The project was being divided into stages. The culminating experience would focus on the first stage that is creating a complete working Curiosibot and program it to play with real musicians a pre programmed piece, and in some part of the song receive information from some of the musicians and interact with them on the stage.
