We are focusing on violin-playing aimed at establishing communication between human and robots. The ultimate goal of this study is to build a robot that can determine its performance automatically based on the information of musical notes. The violin-playing robot we are developing was previously controlled by one PC equipped with ADC, DAC, and Counter, which make the system to larger. Such system can be replaced by small and inexpensive microcomputers. Thus, we decided to build a new control system using microcomputer. We conducted preliminary experiment to assess the performance of the control system. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between the bow force and sound pressure based on the experimental data, which is necessary for the violin performance design.
