Honda’s ASIMO robot to conduct Yo-Yo Ma and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
One of our favorite bots, Honda’s versatile ASIMO, will finally spread its wings and embrace the artistic future it’s always hoped for. On May 13, the automaton will conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra — and Yo-Yo Ma — in a performance of Impossible Dream. The DSO and Honda have combined forces to bring music education to children in Detroit, and ASIMO’s concert will be the launching point for a number of projects the Japanese monolith will be sponsoring in the industrial city. Sure, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a robot conducting an orchestra, but we’re fairly confident it will be the best… provided the little guy doesn’t take any bad steps.
