Automatica: Robot Piano Tests

This video shows some of the testing I did in order to make the robots play the piano. I didn't know anything about Robotics before I embarked on this project, it was fun to learn.

I’ve watched Automatica nearly 100 times and still get chills every time I see it - you are an incredible artist/inventor. I can’t wait for what you have in store for the future!

Wait, so it wasn't all just CGI???? I mean, it still would have been damn impressive if it was all CGI, but this is next level.

Always wanted to have a robot pianist... does what it's told.

I know it's been 1 year but everytime I watch your behind the scenes videos always gives me the chills and I like it.

[TomFYouTube]

Automatics is one of my favorite videos. I've watched it probably 50 times and shared it on Facebook and mamy friends on FB. Please make something else like it.

So you were working on this project for two years? WOW it was a master piece

[jordiibrahim]

I'm so relieved they actually fast forwarded in the video and can't do dynamics

[atlashuante]

I saw your first cymatics video during science and couldn't get the music out of my head. I'm absolutely sure this will do the same!!

A little scary for those of us who have seen the results of flawed programming of machines, but also infinity beautiful, to see the power, and perfectionism, of proper programming. Respect!

[billyjack]

Could we get some footage of the robots playing at full speed? That would be amazing!! Found your work because of Automatica - must listen to more :)

Nigel Stanford and kuka. I salute you. weapon of a tune x

[TheSephi]

omg I can't wait. The hype is so real

[IvanMCoe]

The precision of these robots is really incredible! The precision of a hair!

[translateslowly]

So many questions! Are they your robots? Did you lease them? Rent to own? Must have spent a fortune making this. Well done.

[hhds]

Just imagine if the robot got frustrated at messing up a song and bash on the piano keys.

[DualDesertEagle]

Oh, I see, in the actual music video they're just sped up. I was really wondering if they did actually move as quickly as shown, but I guess that's still a little too much for these.
