Eucaryote, a quarantine buddy

Eucaryote is a robot. To communicate with him, I use the MIDI protocol, as if he was one of those many MIDI instruments you already know. About the characteristics of my robot: It is a mechanism holding sticks and able to move them on 4 axes: rotation of the robot on itself, translation forward/backward of a carriage, vertical and horizontal rotation of the sticks.

Contrary to what we think of a robot, it is capable of many degrees of nuances. It is also capable of groove. However, it does not yet make coffee, unlike a REAL friend. We worked a lot on the design, as Eucaryote is meant for the stage. The decorations are customizable, but are all unique pieces. Also, we did everything to make it as quiet as possible, while keeping some of the sounds that make robots so charming. Decorative and quiet, that’s how we like our friends.

During the lockdown, Musicians couldn’t play with their friends… I decided to build my own covid-free friend to play music with. My musician robot Eucaryote can play with you, you are not alone anymore!
