Robotics can improve musical timing between performers, new study shows

In the musical experiment, violinists wore lightweight robotic exoskeletons attached to their bow-playing arms, which delivered subtle changes to their natural movements.

00:01One, two, three, four.
00:26To answer our scientific question, we designed an experiment in which we tested different
00:31sensory feedback condition.
00:32So, most notably, we had one condition where they could hear each other and see each other,
00:38which is the traditional one, and one condition where we prevented vision and we introduced
00:43haptics, so this feedback from the devices.
00:46And in this way, we were able to demonstrate that replacing vision with haptics actually
00:52enhances coordination, both in kinematics and in musical alignment, so they were able
00:56to perform better, both in terms of their movements and in terms of musical output.
01:07So, at the end of the experiments, we asked participants what they thought about the forces
01:11that they were feeling.
01:12They were unaware of the origin of those forces, and most of them did not realize that they were
01:17actually coming from their partner.
01:19Some of them actually reported that they felt discomfort in perceiving those forces, but
01:24the interesting part is that actually those forces helped them to coordinate better.
01:35In theory, the same concept may be applied to several fields, and one may be, for example,
01:42motor rehabilitation.
01:44So, in motor rehabilitation, mediated by robots, we usually have patients that interact with
01:49the robot to improve their recovery.
01:52Using the same technology, we may have, for example, a therapist interacting with the patient,
01:59and by this bilateral exchange of forces, this may improve the recovery during the therapy.
02:05outside of steel, this may help, like, local Ashley's movement.
02:05personally like 기분, a구매 Yi cylinder, improvements, and a battery life after doing
02:08a развит nuevos space, but for example, a radiation couldn't go down this area.
02:08Thank you!
02:10Shown the way you heard, I will hopefully graduate in the prototype.
