Mechanical orchestra
The project consists of an orchestra of robots which are controlled with a MIDI sequencer which allows them to synchronize. The final project will be a big Juke Box in which the robots will play songs to order!

: Maker & Musician

I work with industrial robots that I divert to integrate them into show installations. I have been doing this since 2010. I am also a musician (traditional music) and I am very interested in the idea of playing music with robots. I work notably on a violinist robot then also on a percussionist :-)

This project allowed me to implement a MIDI interface between the world of automation and the world of music. If needed, I can share on this topic.

I encounter slight lag problem when too much informations is received by the Arduino. I ask if the Arduino should not be replaced by a Raspberry PI. If anyone has any experience I will be happy to share.
