The Sound of a Robot Musician: A pair of robotic arms played the cello alongside an orchestra in Sweden earlier this month. A researcher programmed the arms and a 3D-printed appendage allowed it to manipulate the fretboard. It all made for a, uh, not particularly emotive performance. | Futurism

In an experiment carried out by Swedish composer Fredrik Gran, these robotic arms by KUKA are putting their musical talents to the test. The ‘Robot Cellist’ demonstrates the robots perfecting their unique playing style and technique, while still producing music that feels human. | Mashable
