Violin Rolls, Anyone?

December 6th, 2007 Posted in classical music, elgar, technology

Not the delicious bready type, the piano type. Today Toyota unveiled two robots to look after their elderly. One is a boring mobility robot, but the other is 21876 times more interesting because it can play the violin. Apparently Japanese pensioners are not getting their RDI of serenades.

Watch it playing Elgar here.

I wonder why it… I mean, they, chose such a traditionally English piece?
