Abstract :
The artificial mouth is a robotic device that simulates a human mouth. It consists of moveable lips and an adjustable air supply. In this study the use of a genetic algorithm to compute air pressure and lip pressure values so that the artificial mouth can correctly play five notes on a trumpet was investigated. The genetic algorithm is discussed. Results from experimentation showed solutions being found in as little as two generations.
