RobotLab Juke Bots
Posted by Régis Gaidot | Filed under Discovery, fun
RobotLab have programmed two Kuka industrial robotic arms to perform as scratch DJs. The robots are programmed to play several selections from the eleven records that surround the pair of robots on stands. In front of each Kuka is a Technics SL-1200. The robot then retrieves one of the records with as much flair as possible and then places it under the tone arm – the records never actually lay on the 1200’s platter. The robot then precisely lifts the record up – ever so gently – to drop the needle into a groove for a performance dubbed. While the scratching is not the slickest, its pretty amazing to see these bots in action. In addition, the bots can perform the exact same set over and over.

Yellow Drum Machine
Posted by Régis Gaidot | Filed under Discovery
Yellow Drum Machine’s a snazzy little hand-made robot which putters around, casting its two-camera head franticly for obstacles, then raps out a short beat on whatever it can put its sticks to. It then records its own beat, loops it, and begins to play along with its own rhythm.
