Humanoid Robot HRP-2 Plays the drums

[eonvee375]

push the drum 2cm away the robot, then it will be like "WTF?!"

[FinfTon]

now all we have to do is build guns mounted on they're arms for security..

[vodkaexpress]

totally useless.... build-in a 5.1 surround sound in that thing and it will be able to play ANYTHING and not only drums ^^

[DollDesignMe]

Ah-the early versions of a cyberman.

[maxb8097]

leonardo da vinci did this in europe about 500 years ago...

[Madbutcher305]

George Kollias is in danger now.

[RichMoore13]

Looks a bit erm......robotic, loosen up dude :P

[kennetho]

NI HYAKU COMBOOOOO!!!

[arsehole420]

now blast beat!!!!

[AndreShiotani]

Droga! Me tornei obsoleto ¬¬....

[taylorc0713]

it looks like a transformer

[aNickzz]

Can it play from a midi file?

[deathpool1984]

Robot playing Violin would own this guy in competition.

[MrBeautifulba1]

I'd like to beat that fucking thing into oblivion with my granddaddy's louisville slugger. Souless assholes !!! Quit making crap that we don't fucking need !!!!!

[Sparrowhawk101]

@MrBeautifulba1 Wow... I can really see your point about how much better humans are :)

[MrBeautifulba1]

@Sparrowhawk101 Good Point. . . . Maybe I shouldn't drink so much.

[nolifeATALL23]

i cana see it play an original cadence at 300 then ill be impressed

[neonbladedotcom]

When I was a kid I told my mum; "When I grow up I want to be a drummer!"

She said; "You can't do both"

[neonbladedotcom]

It's not like a real drummer, it's sober.

[mikithecrazyperson]

It's amazing what some metal, a computer chip, thousands of lines of code, and some wires can do.....

[fowlkenz]

Billions of dollars.......

[bighands69]

robots like these are like computers of the sixties or mobile phones of the 80s in that they are very basic and crude.

But the changes you have seen with computers took 40 years to mature with mobile phones it took 15 years.

With these robots it will only take 10 more years.

In the 2020s these robots will be common place and will cost the price of off a vacuum cleaner.

In the 2020s small form computers will be as powerful as the human brain.

We are now in the era of automation.

[Watts2006]

by 2040 robots will want voting rights and tha right to marry......smh

[mikithecrazyperson]

@Watts2006 That all depends on their level of programming. If we make them built to serve, then thinking for themselves won't be in their makeup.

Remember the old robots that donovan and Powell used to get Speedy back in the chapter "Runaround" in Asimov's "I, Robot"?

[Watts2006]

@mikithecrazyperson theory of chaos..... if somethin can go wrong...it will

they can cecome to smart for they own good.....

[dasbacon]

i want to see him play taiko no tatsujin

[schmidtbag]

i was hoping that it would have played more than 1 drum... this is pretty dumb. the violinist robot was infinitely cooler

[Fronz09]

I give it 75 years until we are nuked by our Cylon creations

[Fiverrdrums]

boom boom click

[deceiver123m]

Time to enroll in robot-management school. Im gonna be the boss... i hope.

[jamesha175]

wow move over terminator!

[chavosucks]

By 2040 They will have robots to be slaves to these ones!

[JanJanFR]

really.. the helmet is so anime

[ROBLOXkillers88]

aww cute he thinks he is a human

[bassan13]

...

[elgoorf123]

super hero robot playing taiko. this video just screams japan :D

[juddbudd]

AMAZING! By 2050 they will be advanced enough to take out the trash.

[Corey497]

whys he dressed like a super hero?

[0GGFC0]

that robot can lick my ballsack

[norton5315]

If it's so advanced why do they have it playing a drum when it could do other things.

[schootingstarr]

duh

a drum-computer with legs :P

[Bossiiiii]

boring...

[frankenstein008]

any human can play better then that dumb robot. freak every robot and stop making them especially you japan!

[AlchmstFullMetal]

its called having room for improvement. there's going to be more models that have more and more improvements done to make it better. i agree with evrae, we do need technology. have you tried to do stuff without it? its kinda hard isn't it. technology is made to help make things easier. if you want to do it the hard way, fine, but leave the rest of us who want to see what the future will be like alone.

[frankenstein008]

fine i will leave all of you technology lovers alone. i tried warning you

[kmlau1986]

You do realize that by watching this video and commenting on it, you are on a "computer" surfing the "internet" watching a "video"? Talk about technology........lol @ the irony.

[williamthomasmi10]

@frankenstein008 ... I may have missed the point of the video, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't to have a robot out-play a "hoomin"...

But what do I know, I am a robot after all

[bcschmerker]

Nicely done vid on a stage in the evolution of musical robots. Drumming requires speed and accuracy, and the HRP-2 will be a benchmark for robot percussionists of the future.

[Morenob]

I would like to kick that thing don't know why tho

[natefisher76]

hahahahaha!!! me tooo!!!!!!!!

[xXRand0mnameXx]

whats next? a robot doing......the robot?

[vrshowdown]

already done

[NauticalStar1986]

he is so fast!!!!!!!

[AquaticRobot]

Impressive achievement.

[Finking4]

well done

[followfornothing]

Transformers is all i gotta say on this one...a lot of time and effort put into this robot and it stays in time awesome

[blackfang82]

this doesnt classify as a transformer, cause it doesnt transform into anything :P

[Finking4]

does any one know what type of drum the robot is playing?

[JetPoweredFace]

I believe it's a taiko.

[MTimbo]

Also irgendwie find ich nen Roboter der nen Takt halten kann nich sonderlich beeindruckend...

[wannabroosky22]

win

[BLOHNG]

yes finally we are getting somewhere! a robot that can play drums! the world is safe once again

[NIN1024]

you just go ahead and think that

[BLOHNG]

yer i will

and im sorry i says drums i meant just 1 drum which he is playing so slowly

its not that amazing

[DUCKBOIpi]

@BLOHNG do you not realise what could come of this

[Hawdrun]

@DUCKBOIpi

singers will have no jobs

robots will take over

[adonesjb]

Parece o jaspion!! xD

[teleostomi]

I'd like to see ＨＲＰ－４Ｃ do the drum too.

[herbst199011]

totaly fake

[farmerbill256]

I dont think it is. The sound is off due to the camera and processing of the video footage after. I seen that happen on dozens of videos. And besides this isnt really hard for a robot to get done.

[CheckThisOutFoo]

thats fake, its not even hitting it at the right time some of the tiemes...

[Panzernakr]

Sound. Lag.

[footballroolz2]

this robot is very crappy, if you wanna see good robots search 

sony quiro

[pddwatch81]

SWITCH

IT

OFF

[DMCpro6944]

freaky stuff!!

[AXGOD707]

it hits lightly because it can bench 100,000lbs

[lenin1928]

weak. its tapping so lightly i thought this was gonna be like those wild drummers. just invite a robot that hold ur penis while ur pissing for 10$ and wipe ur ass that'll be a hit.

[GeorgeT50]

SAY GOOD BYE TO MY JOB IN 58 years

[juanrocks2001]

haha dude u made crack up!!

[darrenshanslover]

this is the most boring thing i hav ever seen. ever.

[CulturePeaceForever]

....lol.lol.lol. Twirl,spin,and enjoy the robot..

[diamondback476]

agreed and plus the sound is wacked

[JohnEko]

real or not real this is stupid.

[pinkiwynky]

Do you realize that he´s not playing?

[napunseki]

he is playing i jus think the sound is off sync

[SzybciorStudio]

Yes that's raight... :) Great Robot.. :D

[werandomnize]

"HRP-2 is a very advanced humanoid robot being researched by AIST and Kawada industries. Here we see it play the drums."

WHY HAVE AN ADVANCED ROBOT PLAYING DRUMS...? :S

[GeorgeT50]

lol so we can give them money to build warfare ones haha

[werandomnize]

Wouldn't suprise me. xD

[frankenstein008]

why have an advanced robot at all? we don't need them boy. fuck all robots

[Evrae007]

We don't 'need' computers, television, cookers, cars, planes, or any of the myriad of modern commodities we take for granted everyday, by your logic 'fuck' all of that ? Robotics is a very interesting field, and your bizarre, childish comments on a variety of youtube videos based around robots are abit... strange. It's the 21st century friend, get used to it.

[frankenstein008]

yo robot lover good luck trying to survive the robot invasion all right.

[schootingstarr]

i bet in like 50 years when such a robot wipes your alzheimer-ass and brings you tea to your bed you wouldn't say that

[mquiroz90]

@schootingstarr sure it will happen there be more than just that

[shizlnit]

why did they have to make it look like one of those anime gigantic supper flashy robot people

[Damasteri]

Because it's from Japan, besides it looks cool.

[Zejex15]

because Japanese like it that way.......

[merkbruce]

to make that sound the robot must be big as a human.. and i if you see how it hits the drum.. i doubt it can sound like that.. sounds like fake to me!

[guitmusic11]

its just the sound being off of the video

if you listen closely sometimes you can hear where in the music he clicks the stick on the edge of the drum, rather than hitting it. It at that point looks like he's hitting it and the sound's not happening

its real

[loleidoscope]

quit defending the robot.. haven't you seen the terminator trilogy?

[Dogster080]

This robot is very versatile.

Is this the same one that would help move furniture?

[c05m11n]

u'r right,zombie...this video is out of sync..

but that robot was playing the drum.

[FolkzNprodigyz]

in a 20 years this robot will be a killing machine in ww3 .lol

[playswithpassion]

that's sick not funny...robots will damn mankind!

[Rocko619]

I like the videos of P.E.A.R.T. It is a pre-programed robot that plays a full drum set.

[A1bert00]

damm all this robots have u seen sonys dancing robots there creapy wats up with asian people and technology NICE!! :)

[PETZ95]

very funny im cracking up laughing of robots now can play drums i remember when tv's were in black and white now robots can play drums?

[ZombieX13]

video is way out of sync

[JoelBennett]

this robot sucks at drums

[TheBerzerker1]

A very very fine robotic specimen indeed, hopefully sooner or later they'll be able to get to the point where they can make the actions of these type of robots a bit faster than what they are now.

[billyhigdon]

man, i can play drums better then that. this is NOT an impressive robot.

[JamPL]

prove that ure better

[Jemeela]

japan > america

[littlepyroboy]

that was LAME!!!!but I won't judge your primitive ways...on my planet our robots jerk off & send us the pleasure so we don't go blind & don't get carpletunnel

[immutabledude]

If I buy one of those and it doesn't play the drums, you can bet that I'm going to ask for a refund.

[crichael23]

Regardless of whether or not the robot is playing the drum, the whole thing is LAME & JUVENILE. just listen to that purile soundtrack.A 3 year-old Mongoloid could tap along just as proficiently. It looks so "Anime", Just a real shameful waste of time & money.

[haxor179]

its playing it... its just that video is out of sync

[Pedrusko]

MIEEERDA DE TRASTO! ¿A quién intentan engañar?. Es más barato hacer un robot "cool" que uno efectivo, y esta es la prueba ... se les ve el plumero. ¬¬

[FrikiBill]

vaya timo

[squat4228lbs]

Sexy.

[squat4228lbs]

How much do you squat?

[scifiaudious2]

but u cant spell japanese

[scifiaudious2]

seriously

[AXGOD707]

hes not really playing that.

[TheGodMar]

Thank you, Captain Obvious. ^_^
