[antagony69]

[madjimms]

Honda robot vs Toyota robot, who will win?

[missjucylucy]

There are some really funny comments on here...thx for the giggle...."you play like a robot" "put a vagina on it I gaurentee it sells " "its asian of course it can play the violin" "It will call upon it's robotic brethren" all these statements are so freakin' true..that the only way to feel good about it is to laugh! I'm a little scared about my son's future....*sigh

[TheTwitchkid]

"Next: in an effort to show the world what our robot is capable of, it will pick up an AK-47, load it, and proceed to unload it upon the occupants of this building. Then, using it's wireless communication technology, it will call upon it's robotic brethren to destroy the entire human race."

[xXTianaXx]

It's missing passion.

[Dalsir1]

Exactly as statement says - robot music. Without a soul and feelings. Now I have a new phrase - `You play like a robot !`

[FastForwardDisco]

[curtbash]

Data from Star Trek was better.

[HHHthecryptkeeper]

[stuipidlamb]

[eleszar1]

What kind of sourcery is this?

[FunTheLaw]

[MrSamouroy]

Robot on Japan is just a decoy! Real Asian is all robot to beat American and the world at all the game.

[abbba2]

Goodluck musicians haha

[xRestyyx]

ROBOTS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD

[HicksyDardz]

the japs must be cross bred with aliens

[Aaron97oD]

So they spend their shit on stuff like this and now we have to give them money

[Tobiasplease]

@Aaron97oD They didnt ask for any donations at all.

[Aaron97oD]

@Tobiasplease well if they didn't spend crap on this they would have enough money to fix their country them selves

[Tobiasplease]

@Aaron97oD Yeah lets never spend any money or cultural or technological development. That money could be put to better use, should the apocalypse occur tomorrow!

[ShoZunKaTheReo]

poker faced

[AKELES07]

japan is the most smart peoples ever

[FunTheLaw]

@AKELES07 says the guy from alabama with his awesome grammar

[dannon2010]

@AKELES07 Spoken like a true American.

[AKELES07]

@dannon2010

[dannon2010]

@AKELES07 sorry...I was trying to make fun of stupid Americans, not english as a second language....and yes I'm American, and I deal with them all the time. Sorry.

[AKELES07]

@AKELES07

[cablecow15]

if your saying it sodent sound like its a human playing , or theres no "soul" your a fucking idiot , its a ropot , its not a human , and it had no soul , so thanks for stating the fucking obvious

[MsRawr56]

@cablecow15 well than...that was kinda mean

meany bobeany!!! >:[

[DriftTheory9]

This is the reason Toyota has to recall cars. Too much time creating dumb shit.

[ImBrycePalmer]

Why does japan get all the cool gadgets?!

[BensRandomness]

its just a robot. OMG now its washing my car!

[mgk81]

...and then the robot killed them all.

[monsterrun]

the human that builded and deseigned the robot has a soul i guess. therefore the robot is an extention of the creator. so yeah the bot has a soul at the image of his creator. (programming)

Don't you know souls are basicly battries and of course much more then that.

[saifo1999]

this is silly, i can play violin better

[ranacama]

big deal, an ipod could play it much better

[KoolCakeKiller]

But... Will It Blend?

[kahuna3901]

yeah thats a man in a suit..... lol jk

[MRoberts2114]

This is clearly a 10 year old Asian girl in a robot suit. Nice try Toyota.

[kittykat12211]

@MRoberts2114

silly MRoberts, if this were a 10 year old asian girl, she would have already mastered music theory, have perfect pitch and dynamics, and excellent vibrato. also, she could play with her toes.

[MrsAnimesmangas]

@MRoberts2114 Poor girl...

[wolverine375]

@MRoberts2114 10 years old asian girl + violin = music robot. With a pencil and a paper it called supercomputer, with a needle and a thread it called shoe factory...

[Andrei357084]

Лучше б он посуду мыл и в доме уберал )))

[0candlestick0]

iiiiiii am goinggggg to killl you

[allenmcbee]

@AnchetaWis If you look carefully when the camera zooms into the hand, the finger moves up and down a little on the string to create the vibrato. ^^

[AnchetaWis]

I am suspicious because I hear vibrato but I do not see the robots fingers moving in vibrato on the strings.

[ElijahPalijah]

@AnchetaWis If you look very closely, you can actually see his fingers vibrate slightly.

[ctran612]

What the.

[ghost500e]

That is the same guy who played C3PO cant u see it?????? Lol thats no robot it´s an actor in plastic suit dudes....

[TheMisssarsora]

5ur

[rickylake1997]

[thesolokaraoke]

[MrNerd314159]

it needs a guitar



[Ismblues]

Maybe asian people and robots will eventually merge together...

[ghost500e]

@Ismblues Asian people are robots!!!!! Work 19hours a day 24/7 all year long. If thats not a robot i dont know what is.

[shaaneeee]

I need one of those to do my homework!

[Passisginger24]

It's asian. Of course it can play the violin.

[kikiwawank]

@Passisginger24 ITS A GIRL ROBOT

[musicmanson]

Where the hell is the vibrato coming from??? Why isn't his hand having a seizure like real violin players' hands?

[CRISTIANNATOR]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyy looks chinese

[Parvenu333]

Sounds like a 5th grader. A 5th grader with the strength of five human adults. It could crush that violin with its bare hands. Everyone run.

[adanmrocha]

that's a scary mother fucker

[Braulioiscool]

i saw the trumpet ones, and they actually sound like real musicians , it's so crazy. but the violin does sound way more robotic than the brass instrumentation with the robots being used

[tigerkidtre]

how do you know someone isnt inside?

[nameless2916]

it must be a transfomers...

[moggiog]

if thats a toyota my car should be able to do that.

[yellowsparklefish337]

isn't it just a computer with arms?

[hasdgf]

Can't wait to see how this technology will be used in the future. It plays the music well but there is no feeling in it.

[lolman89]

movie i meant :P

[lolman89]

someday it will really be like in the move i robot... man thats scary^^

[tommyvara]

THANKS TOYOTA!!!!! NOW WHEN IM TELLING MY ROBOT MY PROBLEMS IT CAN MOCK ME!!!!!!!

[wolfpack121212111]

robots are amazing :)

[Watchthevideo6]

mother fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leesha4Lyf]

amazing!!!!!

[flyingfortress911]

guys don't compare it to humans, its just a robot.

[waffle1997]

i'd have a desert eagle or some kind of weapon just incase that thing goes crazy NEVER TRUST ROBOTS!!!!!!

[SrNutritivo]

@waffle1997 never trust a klingon, too...

[AcolyteOfLulz]

This thing is shit. America can design and build something way better. Japan just steals all the thunder because they have the money and time to do it.

[spourshirazi]

@AcolyteOfLulz and not having the time and money makes America better? wtf

[93crazyeve]

as cool as this is, the shit that happened in that movie irobot is gonna happen eventually and this is how that shit starts

[Lilyonsan]

I think it's cool and all, yet it sounds like me when I was just beginning the violin. Also, the vibrato was wrong, it's more of a side-to-side motion not increasing and releasing pressure on the string.

[deltapero]

Oh please, that made me involve....it was expressive like a blown truck tire

[leparditas]

creep

[danrichards23]

PLAY THA DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA! WOOOOO!!!!

[93crazyeve]

@danrichards23 man i love that song

[killercrystal]

=O

I saw something like this at the Shanghai Expo, Japan Pavilion.

[pugsrdabest]

how do we know there isnt a man inside it? :P

[gaaraofthegajnice]

Well isn't this smart.We finally figured out how to make robots.Hmmm what should we do with them: Should we use them to help solve the problems in the world?Or should we use them to contact alien species?Naaaaw let's make 'em play a fuckin' violin that works....

[l33tdudeLT111]

looks scary ;<

[KevinChi22]

omg i have no lie... Im watching a robot play violin -.-

[CENSOREDandEDITED]

If it's made bt Toyota. Why didn't it just start going ape shit crazy and kill someone

[AnimalBear1]

Nice!

[arczibeatbox]

Stupid fags... it's a fuckin human in fuckin robots shell!

[danrichards23]

@arczibeatbox ha ha, my dumbass redneck uncle said the same thing when he saw one on t.v. lol.

[arczibeatbox]

@danrichards23 That because your uncle is a very smart guy

[YvesIsaki]

There's no soul to the music it's playing :[

[tuberoako777]

@YvesIsaki not yet.

[davidludman1]

The point isn't that it plays well, the point is that it plays....the amount of control neccessary to even play is remarkable (this coming from a musician)....robots will never be artists, but its impressive when they learn a craft.

[artofnick]

@YvesIsaki at least it has vibrato...

[MaxGorgol]

@YvesIsaki Oh calm down, its still cool.

[TROLLERSDELIGHT]

@YvesIsaki

lol but what did you expect?

[electronicmedium]

@YvesIsaki i say emotions and soul is the same thing



[Bman135]

@YvesIsaki u can rly feel how inhumane it is

[lanpingpug]

@YvesIsaki That's because it doesn't have a soul.

[lordvad3rrocks]

@YvesIsaki who cares! a robot is playing a violin! lol

[TheSilsen]

@YvesIsaki it doesn't even sounds like a human is playing. not very well!

[PivotOwnege]

@YvesIsaki It's an anthem..

[carlosaeiou]

amazing felling.

[trivos4real]

Leute die sowas bauen gehören bei lebendigem leib gehäutet ohne scheiß! Is doch fett asozial en musicspilender roboter.

[shoky215]

wow that is amazing

[guarnerius69]

It is playing like a couple of my collegues! :-))))))

[MonicaMoore2010]

Holy shit. It's adorable. I want one, lol. That's just what every person needs- a violin playing robot. Totally practical. XD

[TheyStoleMyCookie]

its a ailien ;o

[craigcrazy7]

evil

[jen4673]

i vote scary

[MegaBitbull]

wow

kostet bistimmt viel geld so ein roborter

[deairsofter]

robots and computers are the pinacle of technology asshole. if it werent for them, you wouldnt be watching this video

[ozoid455]

and you will be fuckin one! you probably already are! i cant wait for one to blow your cyber bitch head off! soon my friend, very,very, soon!

[leonel711sanchez]

robots are stupid. its not the eighties anymore.

[ozoid455]

neither is shiting in your pants! cry baby! do you need a new diaper!

[TimingTheTimeless]

Well that's not scary at all!!!!!

pretty soon we'll all be robot slaves if we keep this up!

[ozoid455]

want to be one now!? then stop texting and buying every new fucking $500 iphone that comes OUT!

[MorfGworfmim]

Of all the songs he could have been programmed to play... oh, well :P

Very impressive robotics, of course!

[ZeePintor]

some day, instead of a mp3 or an iPod, we will have robot bands to make the music we want to hear lol

[mikezdiesel]

he'll make a great addition at Chuckee Cheese's.

[inn22]

that is really creepy!

[Zeventwo]

thats weird

[nathooo87]

what's this monster ???!!!

[chalenger42]

Now what you gotta thinck is, was every movement pre programmed or was it just given notes and told played them like a person would.

[exekutioner]

nice work man

[gdgddhdh]

cool

[TEMPLARSTATION]

increible incredible

[NUNER1]

ummm.... ok, now make it go clean something !

[sweffe96]

Nono, you are doing this wrong. If robots clean up, what should the women do? Just sit there? Stay in the kitchen.

[cuteycindyhoney]

Who cares if the robot doesn't play very well? Imagine the prosthetic limbs that will come from this advance! Imagine a robot, someday in the near future. It very well may be capable of walking through a fire to save a trapped child. That's just one small possibility. I say to Toyota...BRAVO!

[AsianandBuddies]

Man,

No emotion

It was pretty good. But, no emotion.

[ming57]

I don't believe this is possible, even though I know its real. That there is precision. I think if they combined this with asimo, crazy things could happen.

[Dillon594209]

Omg that sounds like our Alma Mater!

[JetPoweredFace]

It's pomp and circumstance. If that's your alma mater, that's pretty hilarious.

[49nitramsp]

what song is that?

[altonjarrod]

wow real robbot

[sarutobi75]

Wooooooooooooow it's real?

[darkitachi50]

indeed

[thesolaniki]

play "free bird"!

[SpykerZaggato84]

@thesolaniki *pulls out a lighter*

[sam174]

now u can see the flashes of the camera but you cant hear them, so clearly the sound was added after. The robot probably could do these movements but i dont think that the sound quite came out like that

[thebigtarget1]

and why not

[gtothefinest]

is that why every single note he hits is on time ? watch his fingersss

[tgormly]

It would not be very difficult at all to align the notes that we're hearing to the robot's fingers that you're seeing, as it will play this exactly the same every time, what with it being a robot and all. sam174 makes a valid point, if this were the original audio, we would absolutely be able to hear the cameras.

Whether or not the robot is capable of performing that well is another question. Likely, it can.

[vikingmerijn]

I agree! I mean, the performance was not up to human standards... it sounded quite robotic... no emotion or anything of the like... it was a cold piece..!

[bjf7v5]

you guys have obviously never played the violin, the robot is playing it.

Look at the bow tension and how some notes are actually dropped, easily explained by poor programming.

Compared to a human, the robot's performance was worse than human learning for two years, why would you overlap a shotty human performance if that's the case?

Also, did you not see the pick-up on the violin? They obviously used only the audio from the pick up.

[1001Silver]

Is this a real robot ? Thats awesome !!

[urmomdidwhat]

that is creepy and absolutely stunning at the same time.
