The actual motions of the bot were recorded using motion capture from a living conductor. The robot only conducted the first tune of the performance.

Hi , i speak french,
in the website they say that it was the first time in the world that a robot conducted an orchestra like this, they also said that it was a big success without any faults, the robot is an IRB 240 of ABB, the generator of this idea was Pascal Gautier (an ancient professional musician) who loves virtual reality (his new professional field) .
personnaly i think it’s fun to try new ideas in robotics, creat a bot that is involved in different domains
