| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, the Waseda Saxophonist Robot. No. 4 (WAS-4) was developed. The WAS-4 is capable of showing facial expressions during the performance. On the other hand, we have developed the Musical Pattern Generator (MPG) in order to control the oral cavity air pressure while interacting with a dancer. From the experimental results, the robot performance was not stopped after five minutes so that the effectiveness of the proposed control system was confirmed. In addition, we have developed in this study the Music-based Interaction System (MbIS). In order to enable the robot to improvise the interaction with a dancer, the oral cavity air pressure control system was used in order to assure the stability of the interaction. From the experimental results, at the time the proposed Musical Pattern Generator is used, when the measured acceleration of the dancer is increased, the Note Density is also increased.
