Particularly during the last decades, collaborative concert projects involving interactive robots and musicians became a very hot focus in our activity. Our 40 years of experience in use and development of all kinds of human interfaces (wireless gesture controll, real time sound analysis, microwave radar, accelleration sensors, pyrodetectors, lightsensors, myoelectric devices, brainwaves, EEG and ECG.....) combined with our results in experimental robot building are the fertile soil. It almost by necessity had to eventually lead to the formation of a fixed number of people forming a professional ensemble of international profile, specializing on performances involving man and machines, hence the name M&M.
