lol so the robot isn’t like ultra advanced yet but it is still able to play and simulate a song its only 2010 calm down
@tamakefy The robot is unable to do much more than simulate the songs programmed. It would not be able to create new songs or ad lib new contexts in it. Also creating a gentle surface with the ability to feel and understand concepts like fragile would make it quite hard for it to even do a job like stocking.
It would end up scratching and breaking lots of merchandise.
Show me a robot that can tune the instrument, restring it, then sight read a song playing it upbeat/folky and again mournful.
one dday robots would take over the world… geeks…its 2010… wat will happen in 20?? no money cause they are taking up every job we can do…
but can he cook, clean and do laundry?and not steal change out of the ashtray.
Quit trying to make them human and get them to go out and take the place of migrant workers and snotty waiters. Pronto. And vacuum my pickup while your lollygagging around robot. What the heck do you have to tell these robots everything. Let me guess you haven’t put a martial art in them yet to prevent a steaming customer that is not ready for these dang robots everywhere. A quick one inch punch to a backtalking customer is what is needed. It would make Bruce proud. Get er done. That’s right
Thanks for being a smart ass, I mean what would it look like if it was painted? What I was trying to say is it looks fine just plain white.
my robot is just pretending to play it but there is a recording in him/her no one knows
Theres prolly a little asain boy inside..
they can build a violin playing robot, but they can’t seem to get their brakes to function.
The fingers sometimes get stuck.
scary omg but awesome too lol
that had to be time consuming to program the fingers to do that.
this song is soooo easy to play… but a robot playing it… uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..
Oh come, now, it’s an impressive robot. Just in 2050, we’ll have invisible Mozart robots.
wow, thats it? no im kidding thats crazy
The only perk of using a robot to perform like this would be superhuman intonation.
maybe we can substitute real prostitutes with those things.
my 3yrs old doughter plays much better
hmm its too midi lol
just what the world needs… another excuse not to improve their own skills…. (unless those skills involve building robots that can play the violin…)
matrix….he would be a scary enemy in combat….666….GAME OVER!
i certainly do
hes betr than me
sdhfdjshsjhsdjfskdjsfsh nahhhh , this is some next shit !
