Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., Page, K., De Roure, D., & Klyne, G. (2016). Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music.

Is it really so strange to think about a robot as something, or perhaps someone that can produce music, as a performer or even as a composer? What happens when robots perform on stage to live audiences, and when they are perceived as intelligent? In... Read More about Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music.
