 [ "A Dynamic Computer Model for Simulating a Piano Action as
 [  a Flexible Robotic System -- A Research Proposal of the
 [  Department of Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo
 [
 [ "Summary: The collaborative project outlined in this research
 [  proposal will apply state-of-the-art physical modelling techniques
 [  to produce the first holistic computer model for the acoustic and
 [  mechanical behaviour of the piano."
 [
 [ Dr. Stephen Birkett, of the Department of Systems Design Engineering
 [ (and also a pianist), is responsible for the project.  View the
