A robotic violin player designed to understand and play Carnatic music - a music form that popular in the southern part of India. The project aims to strengthen diversity and reduce bias in musical AI research by training a novel model that learns from, generates and interacts with human musicians. The project promises to revolutionize productions and education of Carnatic music by providing software and hardware solutions to support gamakas - pitch-based embellishments which are at the core of this music form.
