Robotic Dancer Workshops
A set of robot workshops I hosted with my advisor to create performances with dancers and robots.
My work
Some highlights of projects I've worked on leading up to and in my PhD. All of which have some form/combination of music and robots.
Human Robot Interaction
Robotic Emotional Gestures (Prosody)
An NSF funded project where we used emotional musical prosody and emotional gestures to improve trust between humans and robots.
Robotic Dancer
Forest
A forest of twelve robot arms (uFactory xArm) use dancer-inspired movement and music input to dance with humans.
Robotic Musician
Shimon Dances
Marimba playing robot, Shimon, uses gestures and visual queues to improve collaboration with musicians.
