Feb 24
February 2011 will surely go down as a huge month in the annals of robot history. There’s today’s launch of Robonaut 2, who will soon take up residency at the International Space Station; that bipedal robot marathon; and, of course, Watson, who granted, is a computer, not a robot, but still, when the great war between man and machine commences, which side do you really think he’ll be on?
And now here’s some footage of two Toyota robots who have mastered the trumpet and violin. Of course, if music is, as they say, all about feeling, then these two surely have a ways to go (perhaps emotion will be part of some future firmware upgrade).
Videos after the jump, naturally.
