Recently I’ve been especially interested in how swarms of simple robots can make music together, so my colleagues and I built ten Dr. Squiggles as part of my research at University of Oslo, where I study human-robot and robot-robot interaction in the context of music. This project is from the latest issue of Make: Magazine. A Teensy microcontroller animates the eye and receives USB-MIDI messages from the Raspberry Pi, upon which it applies voltage to the solenoids, causing them to eject and make tapping sounds.An embedded Raspberry Pi computer does the “smart” tasks of analyzing what you play and generating rhythms.A contact microphone listens selectively to rhythms that you play.
A low-res LED matrix serves as the robot’s eye.Essentially, it’s just a contact microphone and eight solenoids controlled by an embedded computer. Squiggles, I wanted to make the most mechanically simple robot I could think of, and try to imbue it with the most complex behavior possible.
