Piano-Playing Swarm Robots

A swarm of robots (Khepera III) is presented with a musical score (Beethoven’s Fur Elise) in the form of spatio-temporal requests, i.e. spatial locations that must be reached at specific times (similar to a piano score that requires hitting different piano keys at specific times). By solving the corresponding spatio-temporal routing problem, the smallest possible robot team is deployed in order to effectively “play” the musical score, while minimizing the total distance travelled 🙂
