Robotically Augmented Electric Guitar (2016) is a novel robotic guitar that establishes shared control between human performers and mechanical actuators. Unlike other mechatronic guitar instruments that perform pre-programmed music automatically, this guitar allows the human and actuators to produce sounds jointly; there exists a distributed control between the human and robotic components.
Presented at 2017 NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) conference.
