We told you Honda's Asimo robot was scheduled to conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a performance of The Impossible Dream from Man of la Mancha. The successful performance took place yesterday, and we have the video to prove it.
Even though I feel a little uneasy about the idea of robots in reality, the Asimo looked really cool in a weird sort of way, swinging those robotic arms up and down, leading accomplished cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the rest of the orchestra!
