Haile, the interactive robot drummer

[fopom1]

Did this robot ever jack you off?

[AlphaPegasii]

Great you've invented a robot beatnik!

Get a fucking job!

[manzoor35]

also great job

[EdofEngland]

I'd love to have a jamming session with that thing... No doubt after a couple of hours it'd slap my fingers away and take off on it's own and produce a rhythm equvilant to dividing by 0 -then we'd be in trouble.

[reptilionsarehere]

programed except for its back and forth motion is controlled by sensor watching the hand

[CharlieO73]

Very cool, but I agree it is programmed

[PerfectNothingX]

it seems programmed, not interactive

[Irishfreedom]

And they played the drum for ever and ever and ever the end : )

[yoyoyoeggsyo]

holy shit.

coolest thing ive seen in my life.

[classicalheartburn]

A-greeeeeed!

[shadowsa2b]

that is so cool lol

[lexyzimus]

i think using its arm as a saw would be more usefull

[Leeroy002]

LOL If it had a saw for an arm it could then make copy's of itself out of wood! Last thing I want is a bunch of wooden robots forming an army to conquer the world.

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

@Leeroy002 ya they start out with trees, move on to shrubs, then small animals, squirrels and birds mainly for inhabitting the trees and shrubs, and finally humans...

[britcruise]

Hey!

your robot inspired me to make my own as well. Please check it out and tell me what you think. (it's in my videos)

[britcruise]

Hey!

[matycee]

wow...nice calves.

[fourlock]

they should make al robots not workers but artists.. althought creativity isn't a impossible task to make, it still will be though to make it free of choice in his actions instead of random

[toomuchsoy]

my dear lord... technology goes full circle. a hippie robot. at least we know this one won't go crazy and start killing people. it'll be too "wiped from the big blowout last night, maaaaan. i was hitting that soldering iron like craaaazy."

[spiek]

hahahaaaaaaaaa

[leonsilva]

What the hell??? oO

[Moglealex]

Very cool - Kol Hakavod Gili

[biosyntheticnerd]

I love robots. They're awesome.

[KAPORALDANGER]

THAT IS AWSOME!!

[Bhudda777]

very impressive!

[Xfenderbender378X]

Holy crap

[bellyluver1]

pretty freaking amazing

[BeLL1GeReNCe]

i want to turn this robot into a tattoo machine. whatever device its using to hit the drum just looks perfect for tatts

[manhill]

great!

[xixPANTERAxix]

very cool. I don't know how it works, but its very intresting. Humans although beat machince though... especially when it comes to music

[fibranijevidra]

Very, very good! Bravo!!!

[JahFattoProduZion]

fa i buci proprio!

[titleistman001]

Now you just need to make one that can play a set

[drum1805]

Very cool!! Don't worry about the "waste of time" comments, they aren't doing anything to further technology themselves. At least you made something!

[vegawins]

wooden alien brother jam wow.

[SkyyZephyr]

sweet. im glad i'll be going to that school. =D

get to do cool stuff like that.

[funkubus1]

crazy!!!

[Bibbly53]

AWESOME!

[TheForgotton]

They need to steal that for Captured! By Robots.

[mashersmasher]

does it use a timer or does it actually respond to patterns of sound? eather way it is cool

[Sergeo333]

is this for real?

[KieranBain]

man thats sweet!

[SuperiorMind]

A creative interactive robot drummer to jam with. Awesome. :)

[slipy12]

robot alien drumer!!! xD

good video ;)

[lordigorheilhitler]

good

[lovetash22]

it's the drummer for the future band 'Robotica'!

[glowinghandles]

i've always wanted to play drums with a machine..

[goodlifesaver]

Very creative and good.

[RiverRaid2]

Its a Great morse-code drummer with an alien Head and woman body.

[sniperettore]

It's very pretty to see !!!!

[ttzkkpm]

There's nothing to say then: GREAT!

[matt1100001001]

You don't establish how the robot is listening. It looks like it's always doing its own thing regardless of what the human is doing.

[dailydent]

sweet they should get it on a drum set

[bignate08]

that was pretty cool, now we just need that for electric guitar...

[joshey69drummer]

that is amazing

[KingSpermXXX]

why doesnt he just get a freind to play with j/k good stuff

[drajweer]

rofl

[izzzay]

its not copying him badly like in the description its listening and improvising NEW rythmes; give it a second hand and put it on cd XD

[dirtbikefreak942]

thats pretty cool...who am I kidding, that was realy cool!

[mantonelli87]

hahahaha nice, its got all the style compared to the dude playing

[middleman666]

If the robots supposed to be copying the beat then its doing a bad job lol

[tamadw]

hot girlfriend man.  keep it up! cool shit

[spammyhamster]

Def Leppard ordered one allready.

[en1sparky]

LOOOOOL

[DrummerJosh44]

SHIT!!!! i hope this isnt the future of drummers, then were all screwed!

[UBPaaron]

lmfao, all drumming robots can die, then my band will ahve no use for me :P

[metaldemonlord]

great fuckin invention

[trombone7]

capturedbyrobots dot cahm.

[sk8erstich]

Huh.. Thats crazy I want one!

[k3nuot]

awesome .... awesome

[pyrodion]

TITE!!..

[BGDrummer]

that is cool.. how'd you make it?

[jimisback]

Looks like he is following the robot, not the other way around. And badly. Interesting though. Good job with the electronics.

[Starfighter06]

intersting. . is it programed with only a few notes? or dose it interact with it's own mixed notes? O_o

[32284350]

Very impressive!

[JoePhlanx]

*confused* Ahh... Perverts?

[cynicalgod23]

did you make it?

[simonmic001]

two words sex robot

[simonmic001]

you can make a sex robot

[Dude4NL]

Some ppl just are lame with comments -.-

But anyway nice sounds great I want also a

robot who drums along with me, hell ya!

[ttpublic]

Spectacular, brilliant, frightening.

[charbaji]

shit

[rustiz]

the shape of her head is awesome, but she has no tits , soo , i assume , how do you love her witout tits, hmm, little bit strange...

[M70ACARRY]

Is the bot your girlfriend?

[kunglek]

if it is good AI, the robot listens, learns and stores beats. I don't know if they could program it to dynamically update it's understanding and instantly and abstractly employ it.

[codyfuller7]

cool

[SgtGrave]

pretty cool... needs 2 hands :D

[sk8taman]

thats awesome

[chineseevil]

que bien dentro de unas decadas van a reemplasar a los bateristas deahtmetaleros

[CyberJia]

very interesting

this is awesome ^^

[funkytwobucks]

WTF??? That is awesome!!

[kayin72]

that is the coolest thing ever

[MasterFire84]

YOu can only program a robot to do something, you can't tell them to make their own beat (yet), and still looking at a human drumming is more fun then a robot.

[rebeckt90]

wow really interesting^^

nice!! =]]

[Diddle1414]

It's interesting but considering all the time that went into building the robot, wouldn't it have been better to build a robot that was great at something, instead of a robot that is mediocre at something. You can hardly call it technology when it plays like a caveman.

[paratoke]

Technology has to start somewhere....It's not magic you know. It's done through incremental improvements.

[inbox101]

sorry, but the truth is, from the laymen's prespective technology and science is really magic (diddle1414 = caveman)

[Diddle1414]

There's already technology that can do far more than this can. It's just a waste of time.

[stolenfat11]

waste of time??!?!

[tflach]

How about two of them, or even more, playing together?!

[beanbabo]

Both players sound like robots. Pretty dumb drumming.

[jigitol]

HOLY SHIT.... LoL if that thing played metal it would own everybody.

[dhurley05]

thats awesome

[leech]

here you can find the project website: http://www-static.cc.gatech.ed­u/~gilwein/Haile.htm

and here some more research: http://www.gatech.edu/innovati­ons/roboticpercussionist/

[kindohm]

Cool... can you provide some quick specs on how the robot was built and how it was programmed?

[Jubdog]

Pretty fascinating stuff! Yet another invention that will make drummers obsolete.

[Infernalord]

human drummers will never become obsolete...

[hawsons]

great,

Where can I buy one

hawsons@hotmail.com

[mountaindewzilla]

That is really neat. Now all they have to do is make one that plays an 808 ;D

[trash5678]

i did.

[jollylhama]

The is the most awesome thing I've ever seen

[Fortune1]

Yeah man slipknot would be owned by this drummer, is sounds awesome.

[AnarchistFilmmaker]

dude you should make a band of all robots i would pay to see that

[ilshim]

cool

[tbrowne76]

Pretty amazing - great work
