Designing a musical robot for Chinese bamboo flute performance

Robotic art is one of the important methods to study the relationship between humans and robots. Among different art forms, music is like a barrier-free language that all the people from the world can understand. Therefore, exploring the capability of musical robots is quite interesting that music could probably build a bridge between humans and robots for their emotional connections. This paper presents the design and development of a Chinse bamboo flute robot. We started from observing expert musician to understand important play skills and the rules of body movements along with the music. We designed a robot in a wooden carving style, with six pneumatic fingers to play the bamboo flute. As a pilot study, we carried out a small concert in which the robot played a bamboo flute music in front of about thirty audiences.
