What does it take to create self-aware robotic instruments out of a piece of paper? A workshop was only the start of a new type of avant-garde robotic origami music performances.
Oribotics, a combination of origami and robotics, offers fascinating possibilities – from tiny biomedical devices to the giant James Webb Space Telescope. Together with a team of researchers, key researcher and artist Matthew Gardiner has been developing Oribotics since 2010 at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. With oribotic instruments, the team found a playful way to give robotic origami a musical expression: In a workshop, participants were able to create the paper-based instruments themselves. The potential of the avant-garde instruments was showcased during the festivities for the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s 25th anniversary.

"I blurred at once the map of humdrum,
by splashing colours like a potion;
I showed upon the dish of jelly the slanted cheekbones of the ocean.
Upon the scales of metal fishes
I read the new lips’ attitude.
But could you
now
perform a nocturne
Just playing on a drainpipe flute?"
--- V. Mayakovsky, 1913
Several minutes random doodle just out of blue ... and it looks like some kind of steampunk musical instrument eventually and I remembered this spectacular poetry in theme.

These musical instruments are from a 60-piece magazine collection,that I've been collecting for 3 years.Aren't they nice?They are all handmade and handpainted.I'm only missing two pieces.One that was broken and I sent it backto replace it ,but I got no response and one that I missed.The big contra basso in the black leather musical instrument case was bought apart from a Musical Instrument store.

It's Instrument-a-Day time again! Every February I make a new homemade instrument each day.
Kicking off Instrument-a-day 2012 is the Westminster Doorbell, made of a couple of steel rods suspended over a guitar pickup. I'm learning how to get more overtones out of it, but I haven't really figured it out yet.

The staff instruments in the station's safeworking room, or 'staff hut'. The small mechanical signal box is a separate building on the platform nearby, and is operated by the station employee, or by train crews when the station is unattended.
For anyone who doesn't know about it, I will try to explain electric staff working in a few paragraphs! It is a token system for single lines. On single lines there are "crossing" locations with two or more tracks, where opposing trains can 'cross' or pass each other. Between crossing locations there is only one track ("single line"), and the purpose of token working is to ensure that there is only one train at a time on that section of track, in order to avoid the possibility of collision.
In token working the driver of a train must be in possession of the correct token for the single line section. The token is inscribed with the names of the locations at each end of the section to identify it. The token gives the authority for a train to occupy that single line section, and it must be carried on the train while it is in that section.
In electric staff working, the token is rod shaped and called a staff, and there are a number of staffs for each section. The staffs are normally held within a pair of staff "instruments", one at each end of the section. The instruments are electrically connected, and when a staff is withdrawn from one of the instruments, they both become locked and no more staffs can be withdrawn. When that staff is returned to either instrument, both instruments are unlocked and another staff can then be withdrawn. This ensures that only one staff can be out of the pair of instruments at any one time, and so only one train can carry the staff and be authorised to enter the section at any time.
Phew!

The Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) will fly on the next Landsat satellite, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM).
TIRS was built on an accelerated schedule at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. and will now be integrated into the LDCM spacecraft at Orbital Science Corp. in Gilbert, Ariz.
The Landsat Program is a series of Earth observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. Landsat satellites have been consistently gathering data about our planet since 1972. They continue to improve and expand this unparalleled record of Earth's changing landscapes for the benefit of all.
