(PhysOrg.com) -- Georgia Tech has created an improved version of the robotic percussionist. The second edition, named Shimon, is designed to play a melodic instrument - the marimba. It, therefore, utilizes more sophisticated algorithms for music perception and improvisation in comparison to Haile, Georgia Tech`s first robotic drummer. The robot can also create richer sound and more communicative visual cues.
