From the Georgia Tech Center For Music Technology

“The stage debut of Shimon, the robotic marimba player. Also, the world first human-robot rendition of Duke Jordan’s “Jordu”, for human piano and robot marimba.

The robot listens to the human play and tries to match its beat, sync, and themes. It uses choreographic gestures to generate both motion and sound.”

On a side note, can anyone identify the Robot’s mallet series of choice?
