Musical Robots Invade Juilliard

roboRob writes "RoboRecital, a recent concert at the Juilliard School, featured four robot performers: GuitarBot, a self-playing guitar; an automated fifty-seven rank pipe organ; a Yamaha Disklavier, a modern player piano; and ModBots, a collection of robotic percussion instruments. This New York Times article and it this Juilliard Journal article discuss it." This beats the band-in-a-box automaton at Wall Drug by a fair stretch.

Took a while for the guitar to catch up, eh?

Since the player piano was invented in 1863, it's curious to be so interested in a robotic guitar in 2005. :)
