Robot drummer - let it play drum on your iPhone drummer
This robotic drummer can make use of any surface as the drum to play nice rhythm for you. The yellow drum machine drives around the room and looking for things that might make interesting sounds for it to drum on.

The robotic drummer seems to be equipped with sensor to listen to how the beat sounds. If the beat produced by any surface is liked by this robot drummer, it’ll keep it going until it gets bored with it. Then it’ll move on to find other surfaces that are producing better rhythms.

The bot is intelligent enough to avoid obstacles while it’s moving around and capable in identifying the right surface for drumming out rhythm. When it detects an object which seems to be suitable for drumming, it’ll try some audio samples and test out if the rhythm is pleasing enough. And continues to compose a little matching rhythm with the sound produced and plays little song with it.

Created by a robot hacker, which the raw materials that make up this bot including a PICAXE 28 microcontroller, sound sampler, a couple of geared motors, an old wood cheese crate and plenty of hot glue. It’d be great fun if this bot drummer could play drum on your iPhone that is installed with the iPhone drummer application.
