Shimon is an improvisational robotic marimba player that listens to human co-players and responds musically and choreographically based on analysis of musical input. The paper discusses the robot’s mechanical and motion control and presents a novel interactive improvisation system based on the notion of physical gestures. Our system uses anticipatory action to enable real-time improvised synchronization with the human player. It was implemented on a full-length human-robot Jazz duet, displaying coordinated melodic and rhythmic human-robot joint improvisation. We also describe a study evaluating the effect of visual cues and embodiment on one of our call-and-response improvisation module. Our findings indicate that synchronization is aided by visual contact when uncertainty is high. We find that visual coordination is more effective for synchronization in slow sequences compared to faster sequences, and that occluded physical presence may be less effective than audio-only note generation.
