Abstract

Robots have improved human life and industrial production. In order to make more excitement in human´s live by robots, we tried to make a robot to play a musical instrument. Bass drum is one of the musical instruments which we are interested in. In this research, we tried to transfer the analog musical symbols into the digital computer signal after the robot recognizes music signs and the robots can play a pleasant rhythm. This topic will be separated by three parts which are agencies, circuit, and programming. Finally, we successfully construct robot which can automatic identify musical symbols and play symphony.
