A combination of artificial intelligence and tactile sensors detects over 10 errors in piano playing. Researchers reported on the "FAU" website that "American scientists from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida University have developed a robotic glove that helps musicians relearn to play the piano after suffering a stroke." College Dean Stella Patalama stated that "our robotic glove, unlike similar projects, is capable of distinguishing between the correct and incorrect performance of the same melody." By tracking the hand movement that wears the glove, the internal artificial intelligence system provides immediate feedback, facilitating the learning of proper piano performance.
The artificial intelligence and tactile sensors at the fingertips of the device can identify 12 different types of errors, including rushing key presses or delays of 0.1 seconds. According to the scientists, the accuracy in error detection has reached 97%. The researchers also noted that "the principle of the robotic glove can be used not only for playing musical instruments but also for performing other daily tasks."
