A musical robot, created by researchers at the University of Nottingham to help musicians with disabilities access music-making in a way that hasn’t previously been possible, has won two prestigious sound awards.
Jess+ was developed as part of the European Research Council funded Digital Score (DigiScore) project by Craig Vear, Professor of Music and Computer Science, for inclusive music making, using AI and robotics. It is the first large-scale collaboration between the university’s Department of Music, School of Computer Science, Orchestras Live and Sinfonia Viva.
The two prestigious awards recently allocated to the project were for the category ‘Best Sound Innovation’ from the Sound of the Year Awards; and ‘Music Tech’ award, presented from the Global Tech Awards.
