HKBU InnoCarnival 2023 | Robot Remix:Combining Music and Gestural Input to Drive a Calligraphy Robot
2025-11-19 Subject: RoboticsInnovator: Dr Peter Nelson, Assistant Professor, Academy of Visual Arts Dr Peter Nelson is presenting this demonstration that connects a 6 degree of freedom robotic arm equipped with a Chinese ink brush to real-time software (TouchDesigner). This allows the user to move the robotic arm on two axes, while an external piece of music moves the third axis. The result is a robotic system that visualises a combination of mouse input and music as a painting. Both music and mouse input have been chosen for their operational simplicity, and could be replaced by signals from any range of sensors such as a webcam, heart-rate monitor, motion sensor, etc., and data sources, such as a spreadsheet of numerical values, a sound or video recording, and so on. Using TouchDesigner to mix and map these inputs and a Python OSC bridge to communicate with the robotic arm, this system demonstrates a flexible and accessible method for human-robot interaction and collaboration that can be creatively repurposed by the user for a broad range of applications.
