I hope he doesn't play bass!

If this guy practices a little bit more, and start to play bass, we're gonna have to worry about him! LOL

It never ceases to amaze me, the wonderfully, pointlessly expensive **** that people decide is necessary.

Want to impress me with a robot, Japan? How about one that comes up with a cure for cancer? I'd like that robot to get tens of millions of dollars of funding.

Well, the point was that if a robot can be given the manual dexterity to play the violin, it's not much of a leap to being a surgical assistant.

The robot looked very stop-motion in a couple of shots. My guess is that, notwithstanding how sophisticated this robot has to be in its movements, its performance was largely recorded via motion capture.

Yeap that is the point! in fact I've been hearing lately that in the future if surgical procedures can be performed by robots the margin and possibility of error would be non-existent! I think technology can be a good thing. I don't believe someone will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and buy a robot that can play bass for happy hour! lol ... maybe not just yet! lol
