Development and Evaluation of an LED-Lighted Timing Presentation System Toward Realization of an Assistive Robot for Training of Drum Performance

Abstract

In order to realize an assistive robot for effectively training of drum performance of a novice, evaluation of timing presentation methods is necessary. In motor learning, it is implied that proprioception is better than vision because motor learning requires proprioceptive information such as muscle's movements. Then it is not easy for novices to learning drum performance according to any visual information. In this paper, we have developed an LED-lighted timing presentation system which presents when and where to hit in an intuitive approach and evaluated drum performance of two subjects with three presentation method.
