[quote]This robotic band has just the right amount of drums. [Liat] and his colleagues fit a group of Darbuka drums with a pair of servo-driven mallets. We’re quite surprised that the servo motors achieve such a successful strike and rebound without dampening the vibrations of the drum head. This is more often accomplished with solenoids because of their quick response and relative strength.[/quote]

Questa band sarà messa in mostra alla biennale internazionale di Bat Yam sull’urbanistica, e sarà azionata da un sistema combinato a energia solare ed eolica.
