Robot Flute And Saxophone Duet Sounds Like Middle School

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 18 of December , 2009 at 1:42 am

That flutist robot from Waseda University with the lungs, lips, and funny hat is back, this time to accompany a much less anthropomorphic saxophone robot in a duet. The grand vision for these guys is to create and entire robot orchestra, but they’re gonna need a little bit more practice before anybody’s going to sit through much more than a few minutes, by which time I imagine the novelty factor will have worn off.

Anybody remember that wonderful early 20th century automaton called the nickelodeon? I guess some people like reinventing the wheel.

That’s the thing that dumps slime on people, right…?
