“The Arm” is a five degree of freedom (DOF) robot arm that is able to play a single mounted string, a small keyboard, and various percussion instruments. It is able to move around each of these instruments, playing one at a time. “The Arm” is able to playback MIDI sequences created by the keyboard to allow it to “play” multiple instruments at the same time. The accompanying string instrument will change its pitch through a stepper to allow “The Arm” to simply strum to generate a stringed pitch. “The Arm” will be able to vary timbre, dynamics, and be visually appealing to create unique songs and environments.
