The music robot kit uses an ultrasonic module to detect the position of gestures, then the stepper motor will be driven to move Xylophone's hammer. When the hammer moves to the right bar, robot will control electromagnet to hit the bar. Users can also control the music robot through upper computer, or play your own music with the robot.

This kit can be used to build a Music Robot. It can play the Xylophone by an application via USB cable installed on your computer. By this application you can use the keyboard of your computer to play the Xylophone by the Number Key from 1 to 7 directly. And you can also type a music score in the application and then send it to the robot, the robot will play the music you have sent automatically.
