The University of Pennsylvania posted this fun-to-watch video of flying robot quadrotors playing the James Bond theme on a variety of instruments.\u00a0 The slower instrument parts (keyboard, cymbal) are played by having the robot fly up and down.\u00a0 The faster lead part is played on a “couch guitar” they rigged up by running a series of strings tuned to the right series of notes across a couch frame.\u00a0 3 robots take turns dragging a wire across the strings to play the sequence.<\/p>\n
The whole thing is pre-programmed and the robots are acting autonomously.\u00a0 We’re one step closer to Skynet.<\/p>\n
