The next frontier for robotics? Jazz marimba Post a Comment <p>Watch out all you well-paid, fat-and-sassy jazz marimba players: <a href="https://www.shimonrobot.com">Shimon</a>, the marimba playing robot is after your jobs. Shimon is the brainchild of the Robotic Musicianship Group at Georgia Tech and I’ve been following his career for <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2012/07/31/techcrunch-makers-georgia-techs-musical-robots/">a few years now</a>. In this video, taken at the Ferst Center Presents as part of Atlanta Science Festival, Shimon and a band led by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/zachary-robert-kondak">Zachary Robert Kondak</a> jam out to Kondak’s latest rock opera. That’s <a href="http://richardsavery.com">Richard Savery</a> on the sax.</p> <p>Watch it. It’s wild.</p> <p>The truly amazing part of the show has to be drummer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Barnes_(drummer)">Jason Barnes’</a> mechanical arm that he uses to play beats live in time with Shimon’s tapping. It’s a melding of man and machine that is truly awe-inspiring.</p> <p>So you’ve had it good so far, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_vibraphonists">all you jazz vibraphonists</a>. Now that robots are gunning for your jobs the jig might be up.</p> <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=W-JE5SgHUI0:d9k9qY2kxtg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tGPVYDGBQPK8P7s2XZqEj8P-F6HADs4kj_6xUg_KVgcvr2-8rpHT_vssg5O06ODm62G9Hf2XhlvN4jjRqDN0o015p2OL96E8toBlCMsObF59xqVkTW0em2u0I8Dqmh5ZnXkhyNSZYmSmRcsMiCx6k9_Qs=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=W-JE5SgHUI0:d9k9qY2kxtg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sXp6lIoYXt_fDyTvcJujZx1vXGvaDEj_OG2-XBEw9fSFKtEQOiFqRO88HuoogAS4Y8tlFAbKCRiHTTalyvZkSampgH8hrSsUzT_QQUw1jSuqcIilSYZ4im3y5Xh1t52iFbJXo-SCQVst-ThMt0rPjMsM2s=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=W-JE5SgHUI0:d9k9qY2kxtg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uqZOQy5tPM_4UOYuz-CpG4GY6QBxfFB_PBcbS4Yr5PdR1JVc3MmHW3h9GvIUS37M_PUEN4peB90b5ahJCEl648oqTdygIIxJx1e3wND5BtqveGxxkT38xprgU=s0-d"></a></div> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/16/the-next-frontier-for-robotics-jazz-marimba/">Read More</a> Share : Post a Comment for "The next frontier for robotics?
