Video Monday: Robots Attempt To Teach Each Other To Sing
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 29 of June , 2009 at 6:25 am
Tom, Dick, and Harry here are trying to figure out how to sing. Starting off with a few random notes, the robots kneel in a circle and make noises, while listening to themselves and each other. After a few days of experimentation and cooperative emulation, each robot gradually figures out how to sing short melodies, while mimicing the melodies that the other robots sing. It’s a very ground-up method of learning, and might even be a precursor to language development. While not nearly as impressive as other robot jazz musicians, robots that learn in this fashion have the potential to be much more adaptable than robots that start off with some idea of what they’re doing. Not better sounding, necessarily, but more adaptable.
Now, I don’t claim to be much of a music critic (I’m a big fan of bagpipes, after all), but maybe this singing is just too advanced for us humans to appreciate. Maybe in a few hundred years or so, we’ll be in awe of these robots’ talents. You know, it would be like rock music showing up in the 1800s, or kitchen appliance cover bands today… Just not something our brains are equipped to process at our present stage of development.

This is highly innovative stuff! Embodied cognition really has come of age with this. There’s no knowing where this might go. Anyone else having visions of Mars Attacks!? ;-)
