Can Robots Play Music?

I guess it depends on how You program them,

the main thing is, do not let them get out of control!

I have to admit I really enjoyed this video by Musician Nigel Stanford who used AndyRobot‘s Robot Animator for Autodesk Maya to program these KUKA robots to make music together, on Facebook, he said their movements are accurate to 0.3mm, allowing them to precisely pluck a bass guitar string or bang a drum without breaking through the skin, Stanford tells StudioDaily the robot shots are all real; the lasers, explosions, and other elements of destruction were created by Ukrainian VFX firm Digital Axis from a CG toolbox that included ThinkingParticles software from Cebas Visual Technology, the video is available for digital download in HD or 4K, along with Stanford’s full album, Automatica, and no I am not on commission! I just thought the video was so well done, I really enjoyed it,

and if You want to see more a little more, Stanford posted a behind-the-scenes video showing some of his robot tests, absolute magic.
