You know, I always say the world doesn't have nearly enough robots playing musical instruments while wearing hats.
It's a pretty amazing story, what with all the technology that went into the lips and the lungs. I'm not sure I'm buying the idea that a robot with a face painted on him and a hat plunked on his head is "a contender for concert performances," but there are other uses for this technology than this very literal thing. Let's face it: if there weren't, this would be a lot of work to put into a flute-playing robot.
This makes two "Flight Of The Bumblebee" references in one day. It's a fine day to be a very fast piece of music.
