For the first time, a robot conductor performed at the concert of the 1st International Symposium on Robotics. The Swiss-based ABB, a YuMi robot holds an orchestra-headed stick with one hand, gestures as a conductor with the other hand.
Several pieces of music and music production have been made available for the machine learning - the conductor Andrea Colombini has proven to be in motion, and the robot has been limited to them, news.rambler.ru reports. According to the words of the developers, YuMi represents the most striking car, just as the Japanese robot Asimo, driving in 2008, has directed the Detroit symphonic orchestra. Andrea Colombia commented, "Asimo was moving slowly, the wheels drifted upward and down, and YuMi was an indivisible hibiscus, and it was a wedding or a mobility that I got my hands on."
The robot was very busy: for the machine to wait for about 6 minutes, the conductor was in 17 hrs. With another companion, on the words of the conductor, the drill bit has the future - the machine can improvise and sense the melody exactly as it does to the human.
