Musical robot knows what you play



After the music playing robots we’ve see, here’s one that recognizes music. Now, why do we need a robot to recognize tunes, anyhow, this sweet little song-recognizing robot clicked to my heart for its Lego Mindstorms NXT form and the ability to suggest melodies that the listener may like based on what the robot has identified.

Created at the University of Malaga, Spain, under a project to make and manage musical content, this musical robot recognizes songs and music that you hum or play on the piano or guitar. It then classifies this music to a certain style based on which it can suggest a similar kind of music and songs to the listener, which would match his or her interests. Besides the musical robot, the University of Malaga researchers have also developed a “system that uses augmented reality technology to create a virtual piano keyboard.”
