ASIMO conducts an orchestra, and the humans obey!

first what is ASIMO......ASIMo is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. Standing at 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms (119 pounds), the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk or run on two feet at speeds up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph)[1]. ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan.

Detroit, Michigan, United States. 13-May-2008. (Source: ABC News via The Associated Press) Honda’s ASIMO robot becomes a music machine as it picks up a baton to conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra through the opera tune “The Impossible Dream.” The performance was to highlight a $1M gift from Honda to the orchestra’s music education fund.

Practice really makes something better,in the first rehersal asimo conducts the orchestra with a very good way but there was a mistake when asimo slow the tempo.this was really a mistake but after training with the orchestra ASIMO was getting so musch better and the engineers dont have a big problem in removing the mistake of slowing the tempo........so can a humanoid robot be a very goood musician...... hani
