This...is interesting. This is Honda's Asimo Robot conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Can anyone tell me what song they are performing? Why might it be ironic?

Enjoy!

The impossible dream

This is ironic in my eyes because music was composed for musicians by musicians. A conducting robot would never be able to interact with humans in the ways that music can. The irony is that the dream is NOT to get rid of humans from being involved in creating music.

ROBOTS CAN ONLY COPY. THEY DON'T DREAM.

I'll have to post the other video of the Asimo robot falling down a set of stairs at a demonstration.
