**6. Conclusions**

In this work, we have presented a useful framework for the classification, understanding, and design of AI-assisted musical devices.

We have shown a very wide range of devices that can fall into this category including such different things as accessible instruments for disabled musicians or alarm clocks to help people with sleeping disorders.

We have presented a quite detailed implementation of a variation of a successful musical instrument designed in the 1920s, the Theremin. Our augmentation allows the player to select timbre and effects in real time through hand gestures but also helps to keep the look and feel of the original instrument if it is played with open hands.

We also included a short description of the design of other AIMEs to show the usefulness of the framework.

In future work, we will evaluate the user experience of TherAImin with musicians and study possible modifications for performers with disabilities using the powerful embedded intelligent system.
