Mason Bretan, a Ph.D. candidate in music technology, plays the drums, guitar and keyboard. A robot named Shimon listens to the sounds, then generates music on a marimba using its computational knowledge of jazz theory and improvisation. At the same time, a trio of Shimi robots autonomously generates dance choreographies based on a joint analysis of the music and a self-awareness of their physical constraints and abilities.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28008","created_gmt":"2015-02-09 16:08:26","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:23:54","author":"Bobby Macedonia","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"japanese exchange","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/2015\/01\/16\/robots-student-team-create-miles-davis-inspired-funk","dateline":{"date":"2015-01-16T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-01-16T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
