Abstract:

In this paper, we describe the fabrication and control of a robot that plays an acoustic guitar using a solenoid. So far, various robots that play guitars have been produced, but the robot produced in this research are characterized in that they only perform linear movement of solenoids and perform the fretting and picking operations in playing guitars. Also, by adjusting the operation of the solenoid by PWM control, the strength and weakness of the sound can be expressed. Furthermore, by adopting serial communication based on the MIDI between the robot and the PC, the user can easily control the robot. This time, we aimed to make the sound strong and weak with open strings. As a result of the experiment, it was found that in the open string, the sound strength change can be applied to all the strings. As future points of improvement, it was mentioned to be able to pick up well even if the height of the string is changed by pushing strings, and to further reduce the noise generated between the parts of the solenoid and the robot.
