Gaga’s Robotic Keyboard Made Her So Stunning On Grammy

The Grammy Award always gives unexpected performers, but all the way of Lady Gaga's did in staples Center for a David Bowie tribute was successfully catching an attention. Yes, everyone is talking about her moving keyboard planked on the two moving arms. Gaga’s robotic piano moved up as she started to play the piano making her performance got appreciation. Gaga has never disappointed her fan. I agree. But, I think it is the one that I love. Looking at her dancing piano leads me to play her performance again and again. I cannot stop enjoying her robotic piano dancing following Gaga's hands. What was that?

As I looked for the Gaga's robotic keyboard, I found an interesting fact from Engadget. Gaga’s team made it by a help from a robotics who now is working for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Andy Robot. As he followed Gaga's idea he created program and animation to support her performance.

So, what was brought to Gaga's robotic keyboard?

 

Andy Robot brought ABB's robots into Gaga’s robotic piano which you can see on the BMW that can operate at full speed and last for 30 years. What a good unison since Andy Robot made it synchronized with the song without giving any chance to the keyboard to tear down. An animation of a skeletal system based worked perfectly to move the arms in and out. It was alike how the human body system works. When our brain thinks about grabbing something, the arms will directly move to somewhere without the elbow and the shoulders movement as well. That's how they made the keyboard as the parent for the two robots. That's why the robot couldn't tear down.  

Andy Robot then explained further he also calculated its risk in safety review and ensured it to be safe to interact with a human. Adding compliance was the biggest problem when the two machine (hands) would not work in error. Seemed like they did their best for its complex movement.

Well, apart from that, I think we should say “Good job!” to Gaga’s team. Still can’t wait what other performances that Gaga’s would bring on the next occasions.
