In recent years, many researchers have shown increasing interest in music information
retrieval (MIR) applications, with automatic chord recognition being one of the popular tasks …

This paper presents a prototype system for adapting the bass guitar for one-handed
musicians. We discuss existing solutions to accessible musical instruments, followed by the …

We introduce a newly developed robotic musician designed to play an acoustic guitar in a
rich and expressive manner. Unlike previous robotic guitarists, our Expressive Robotic …

In the past several decades, society's understanding of disability has progressed from an
individualised model based on functional limitations, to the identification of disabling barriers …

This paper presents a synthetic data generation method using a robot to create a substantial
dataset. One important task in the field of learning-based recognition is to collect large …

This paper presents the design of a novel course in mechatronics, based on a project-based
learning pedagogical philosophy that uses music as the theme to introduce to a diverse …

This thesis presents a novel tool, RoboCapo; an augmentation device for the guitar, a
digitally controlled actuated capo mechanism that explores the emergence of new complex …

Azure Talos is a mechatronic chordophone that is theoretically capable of producing many
of the expressive sounds and techniques of a human guitar player. However, despite its …

This paper describes the concept of a modular electro-acoustic research stand, which is
based on the construction of an electric guitar, for teaching the basics of electro-acoustic …

Technology has influenced musical activities, mainly in the way of human interaction. One
case is human-robot interaction where humans can control robotic musicians in real-time …
