It's just something a bunch of people got together to do, for fun. But I find it really interesting, really fun. It's just.. the geek factor. Oops.<BR/><BR/>I believe that electronics cannot do music the way human beings can, and can never ever achieve it, unless, they somehow possess emotions. Music is human, and robots are not human.<BR/><BR/>U0405816 Chua Chong Handars.edutainmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571119680222961511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175855398854831712007-04-06T18:29:00.000+08:002007-04-06T18:29:00.000+08:00I believe that at the end of the day, these innova...I believe that at the end of the day, these innovations will just serve to improve the field of robotics. The closer these robots can perform task that resmebles a human the more adaptable future robots will be come in their motion. However, this will still be in the realm of complementing people in their lives. <BR/><BR/>I believe that music is still an art. What's the difference between you playing a music CD and having a robot playing it for you. <BR/><BR/>Feng Junwei Benjamin<BR/>U046064EAssistivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006065314130625352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175854757043907852007-04-06T18:19:00.000+08:002007-04-06T18:19:00.000+08:00The above post was mine.Inspite of the robot being...The above post was mine.<BR/><BR/>Inspite of the robot being a fine piece of work, I am not sure if robots can substitute humans to play/perform music in future. The "touch" factor that varies from person to person, that distinguishes a musician from another would not be there. Guitar playing would become monotonous with the robot and I dont think this would go beyond a past-time fun activity. <BR/><BR/>Balasubramanian Prasanna<BR/>U045872UMedicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113871826661688545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17644478.post-1175854723095729302007-04-06T18:18:00.000+08:002007-04-06T18:18:00.000+08:00Inspite of the robot being a fine piece of work, I...Inspite of the robot being a fine piece of work, I am not sure if robots can substitute humans to play/perform music in future.

I am disgusted at how much time I have spent on the guitar hero games, instead of trying to come up with a robot that can play the game for me. The differences are pretty obvious. <BR/><BR/>One, if I play guitar hero, then I will just be a person that plays guitar hero. If I beat the game, I will be a celebrity in the comforts of my living room.<BR/><BR/>Now, if I were to build a robot that plays guitar hero for me, imagine the fame and money that would come rolling in! Real fame! Real money! Oh... Just thinking about celebrity makes my head feel light...<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I admit that the Guitar Heronoid is a pretty cool invention. I mean, just look at the hands. Imagine how many man hours it must have taken to develop the hands. Also, I noticed that the robot played almost flawlessly. <BR/><BR/>Some people may complain about lag and the other imperfections of the humanoid. I say to these people, "Give the robot a break! Even I can't play perfectly!"<BR/><BR/>Brought to you by,<BR/>Nick (U045902U)Medicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113871826661688545noreply@blogger.com
