2. Overview
● Robot reads in sheet music
○ Advanced object detection
● Robot plays notes on instrument
○ Object detection of note on instrument
○ Time the robot movements
● Multiple robots playing instruments together
○ Multiple robots playing a
xylophone and a drum

3. Approach
● Create large version of
sheet music
○ detect different types of
notes
○ automatically calibrate to
sheet music background
● Motion planning to play a note on an
instrument
○ Include time into motion planning
● Synchronize movement between arms

4. Final Product
● Allow people to lay out different music
● Display the desired music on the computer
screen
● Robots will perform the specified music
