机器人乐队以独特节奏创造人类难复制的音乐,融合音乐人反馈设计。
The Beatbots: A Musician-Informed Multi-Robot Percussion Quartet
- 基于音乐人反馈的迭代设计,打造可玩性强的多机器人打击乐系统。
- 28名观众认为机器人音乐具有趣味性与美学价值,跨群体接受度高。
- 强调机器人节奏精准与不可预测性,适合探索新型人机协作音乐形式。
艺术创作常被视为人类独有,但机器人在音乐演奏中具备精确节拍控制、复杂节奏生成及人机协同表演的独特优势。现有机器人音乐系统多模仿人类表现,而本研究聚焦机器人的独特能力,开发出名为Beatbots的多机器人打击乐四重奏系统,能创作出当前方法下人类难以复现的音乐。系统通过‘知情原型设计’过程,整合三位音乐家在开发中的反馈。我们通过一场公开演出评估其效果,对28名参与者进行调查,结果显示观众普遍赞赏演出的趣味性、机器人系统的美学特征以及非传统音乐风格。专家音乐人和非专业机器人爱好者均表现出显著积极态度转变,所有人群体反馈皆为正面。本文提出未来机器人音乐系统的设计原则,并识别出音乐顾问认为关键的机器人音乐潜力特征。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artistic creation is often seen as a uniquely human endeavor, yet robots bring distinct advantages to music-making, such as precise tempo control, unpredictable rhythmic complexities, and the ability to coordinate intricate human and robot performances. While many robotic music systems aim to mimic human musicianship, our work emphasizes the unique strengths of robots, resulting in a novel multi-robot performance instrument called the Beatbots, capable of producing music that is challenging for humans to replicate using current methods. The Beatbots were designed using an ``informed prototyping'' process, incorporating feedback from three musicians throughout development. We evaluated the Beatbots through a live public performance, surveying participants (N=28) to understand how they perceived and interacted with the robotic performance. Results show that participants valued the playfulness of the experience, the aesthetics of the robot system, and the unconventional robot-generated music. Expert musicians and non-expert roboticists demonstrated especially positive mindset shifts during the performance, although participants across all demographics had favorable responses. We propose design principles to guide the development of future robotic music systems and identify key robotic music affordances that our musician consultants considered particularly important for robotic music performance.
