[Trombone-l] Asimo conducts Detroit

[Ray Horton]

If tis is your first exposure to this gimmick, you haven't read that the 
robot's moves are copied from the orchestra's assistant conductor 
leading the piece at a rehearsal months earlier.  The robot cannot 
respond to anything going on around it.  It is, in other words, a 
walking, talking version of the same type of robotic arms that have been 
building cars on assembly lines for years.  I'm not impressed.
