The Rockin' Robot MIT's Virtual DJ Project
The Rockin' Robot There's a very interesting article over on BBC News about a robotic DJ entitled The Rockin' Robot. The system can spin vinil to match a predetermined beat. Researchers are planning to capture motion of top deejay's so that the robot will be able to scratch too! It's interesting how imitation is required for those complex tasks. There's no information on how the tracks are actually selected, but this reminds me of a project mentioned late last year: BioFeedback and Automated DJs where Genetic Algorithms were used for picking the tracks. | Alex J.
