Automatica: Robot Bass Guitar Tests

FULL VIDEO: ► NigelStanford.com/y/t2-Automatica
This video shows some of the testing I did in order to make the robots play the bass guitar. I didn't know anything about Robotics before embarking on this project, it was a lot of fun to learn.

Looking forward to this!!!

[@luisvinicius3264]

You both are masters! The Marble Machine is just awesome, congrats for it. Now, we hope to see what Nigel have done, it'll be an awesome job just like yours. Can't wait for it!

[@NigelJohnStanford]

I'm a big fan of you guys... love all the behind the scenes videos :)

[@locomotivo4644]

Would LOVE to see you both collab someday :D

[@iMadScience]

Your marble machine is pretty awesome!!!! And Nigel's science and music is very awesome too!!!!

[@Wintergatan]

Likewise! Thats really fun to hear Nigel, Good luck with the upcoming release! Best/ Martin

[@aaronmyers6686]

Wait, wait, so this music video was made using actual assembly line arms? Phenomenal.

[@steveeldridge7184]

Aaron Myers totally agree! I work on, program and maintain a lot of Fanuc robots, but this blew me away! I had no idea they are so versatile.

[@LILLJE]

Steve Eldridge then maybe it's too good to be true

[@TheNefastor]

LILLJE No, those arms are designed to do things that are much more demanding than playing the guitar. They can move very heavy payloads very fast with incredible precision. For what they do they are much, much better than human arms. Which is the reason why we use them in the first place of course (and not to put humans out of work).

[@norbertfleck812]

@@steveeldridge7184 You should work with Kuka robots instead of Fanuc 😁

[@steveeldridge7184]

@@norbertfleck812 I'd like the opportunity to! However, Fanuc and Yaskawa keep me fairly busy haha!

[@Lightning_Mike]

This is the definition of unbelievable. You see it happening before you and still can't believe it. This is amazing!

[@PigeonHoot]

Parts of it are CGI and others are of him and the robots, from what my eyes determine the music video is complete robot CGI and the bts are part cg and practical.

[@mihailazar2487]

waaaaait wait wait wait ... so ... you mean to tell me ... AUTOMATICA *WASN'T* FULL CG ?

[@m4c220]

is mo CGI form the Video, except the effects.

[@eriksimca9409]

Nigel Stanford doesnt do CGI ;)

[@armorhide406]

@@eriksimca9409 Except yknow, a lot of the video IS CGI since the destruction couldn't be controlled precisely enough live

[@odin6647]

Actually all of the robots in the video were CGI. He was using these bots to test how they would look when playing them so when he animated thim in 3DSMax and Maya later he had a good base to grow upon.

[@waffleburger8752]

@@odin6647 That's not true at all, they were also used in the actual music video; why are you making up rubbish.. Did you want to sound cool or something!?

[@nicklandovich]

Stoked for this. Still show Cymatics to people and amazing them with the dope music and how sound effects different medians. Big ups!

[@MikeOrkid]

It's going to be amazing. So stoked for the final release.

[@samsonwoods5448]

Brother Nigel, been a musician for 40 yrs. You r an original, keep up the good work!!!!!!!

[@PetrKulda]

You made my day. I was waiting for your next piece. Allready pre-ordered on iTunes.

[@richardneedham4965]

Why the 174 dislikes?? There is nothing not to dislike about this.. The time, effort skill and money that went into this is amazing!

[@truongtx000]

Skynet dislikes this video 😂

[@A_Maggot]

It seems that anything that involves bass or bass players like myself that isn't slap gets downvoted.

[@JJSMITH-vr5oh]

This is awesome can't wait to see more of the whole process.....

[@daveoh13]

i'd love to watch the robot's entire bass guitar performance, just the bass part, or a video of each instrument alone; that'd be cool...

[@iridiumcaptain]

11 seconds into the piano test video, it can be seen that actual movement from real robotic arms was being captured and recreated in Autodesk Maya. The final music video is heavily composited using CG versions of the robots.

[@crazyivan030983]

Of course it is. The ray tracing is a tiny bit of in my opinion in final video. Robots are too glossy. And the glossnes is a bit too sharp (don't know how to describe this)

[@Elias_NLSN]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJTGpqSmg7x1ja8si=sn045DmM8pRfHXXi this is a video that shows behind the scenes
