Can this be the future for MIDI?

ya gotta love the vibrato, which we all know is created by alternating
softer and harder finger pressure to create the vibrato :rolleyes:
The programmers of the robot knew enough to try to convince the
viewer that the vibrato was real during the fingering closeup.
Smoke and mirrors.

I wonder if people who buy Toyotas realize just how much of their money
is going into Robert Bott..... instead of their cars!

I seem to remember reading that the robot is designed for medical applications and the violin playing (including vibrato) is meant to display the fineness of its motions. Cool movie. :)

If this is The Land of Hope and Glory (Elgar) then I'll buy a one way ticket to elsewhere.

Japan has an aging population and needs care givers.

I believe this Honda press demo video was released today.
