MUSICAL BOT FOR PLAYING A XYLOPHONE :
What is Musical Bot?
Music is all around us, and the soundscapes created by its notes and tones can even change our behavior. Music has long been an essential human art form, central to our cultural activities and social development. With recent developments in artificial intelligence and automation in machines, robots are advancing into previously unexplored industries such as music, entertainment and education. Robots are made capable of playing music, which brings happiness for humans. As the bot can be made to play any song with the help of instruments, just by giving input via remote or pressing buttons. Because of this new-innovative idea musical bot came into existence.
NEED STATEMENT :
A School is interested to showcase the beauty of music to their children, so they came up with an idea of developing a robot which plays different kinds of tunes assigned to it. So, that the children develop interest in the music.
The existing solutions for musical bot for playing a xylophone are :
1.Dash Robot :
- Dash robot is an mini bot that plays the xylophone using only one arm.
- It is controlled by an mobile application.
- It is portable and user-friendly.
- It runs on battery.
2.Phantom robot :
- Phantom robot is a complex bot that uses many complex circuits to play a xylophone.
- It is controlled via laptop.
3.LEGO EV3 robot:
- LEGO EV3 bot is a very user friendly bot.
- It is portable.
- it is controlled via remote.
The DIY solutions for this project are :
1.
- This is a very special robot that uses conveyer belt to reach multiple xylophone blocks to hit them and produce a musical tune.
- This bot can also be decorated according to the user's will.
- This bot is portable and user friendly.
- This bot is contains various ARDUINO UNO circuits.
2.
- This bot uses industrial SCARA arm to produce various musical tunes.
- This bot is not portable.
- This bot requires large amount of electricity to run.
3.SHIMON robot
- This bot uses various electricity powered solenoid arms to play various musical tunes.
- This bot uses immense amount of electricity to work.
