ASIMO to Conduct Symphony Orchestra: related news

ASIMO to Conduct Symphony Orchestra

DeviceGuru writes to mention that Honda's ASIMO robot will apparently be leading the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a performance of "Impossible Dream" from the conductors podium. Along with cellist Yo-Yo Ma the mechanical marvel will hopefully have a better performance then some of the earlier public appearances. "Honda says it is giving the Detroit Symphony Orchestra a gift of more than $1 million to create The Power of Dreams Music Education Fund. The fund is intended to help the Detroit Public Schools, which has suffered from severe cost constraints that have hurt the district's ability to provide music education, offer students the opportunity to learn to play instruments, read music, and participate in bands or orchestras."

Robot to Conduct Detroit Symphony

Honda Motor's Asimo robot will make its conducting debut next month with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Asimo is a humanoid robot able to walk forwards and backwards and climb stairs. Honda has been active in robotic research and design for over 20 years and Asimo, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, has been their robotics ambassador having made prior appearances here in the U.S. Asimo is scheduled to conduct the orchestra for one piece - "Impossible Dream" from the Man of La Mancha musical. Honda is not the only company that has musically inclined robots. Toyota has demonstrated a humanoid robot capable of playing the violin. Don't expect to rush out and get tickets for the May 13 concert as the show is sold out.
