Lego NXT Dancing to the Rhythm

A Lego-NXT-based humanoid robot dancing to the rhythm of prodigy. It reacts in real-time to multimodal events, from musical note-onsets and dance floor colors, with user-defined dance motions. [paper]

Synchronized Robot Dancing

RoboNova dancing to Blur. Each sequence of moves is synchronized to the musical beats on-the-fly, retrieved from the real-time INESC Porto Beat Tracker (IBT). [paper1]; [paper2]

Humanoid Robot Dancing Samba

Simulated humanoid robot NAO dancing samba. The dance movements were mapped from MoCap (motion capture) recordings of human samba performances. [paper1]; [paper2]; [paper3]

Beat Tracking for Robot Audition and Live Beat-Synchronous Robot Dancing

Interactive robot dancing system that simultaneously processes and responds to the beat of continuous musical stimuli and to the speech of a human interactor in a real-world scenario. [paper1]; [paper2]; [paper3]

This webpage contains video examples to accompany the paper accepted at the NIME 2014 conference.

Demo 1 – Live Guitar / Michael Jackson mashup


In this demo, beat slices from two Michael Jackson songs are used to make the real-time mashup accompaniment.

Demo 2 – Average White Band / Slap Bass mashup


In this demo, a recording of slap bass playing is used to make the real-time mashup to the Average White Band.

Demo 3 – Live acoustic guitar / Bass mashup


In this demo, we use the bass to accompany the live acoustic guitar input.

Demo 4 – Steely Dan DJ style live mashup


In this demo the user controls when the mashup is active adding it over the top of the input in real-time.

This is a CouchApp for conducting automated listening tests online. CouchApps are web applications which can be served directly from CouchDB. This gives them the nice property of replicating just like any other data stored in CouchDB. They are also simple to write as they can use the built-in jQuery libraries and plugins that ship with CouchDB.
