Weird stuff from the web. Honda recently dispatched its miniature humanoid robot Asimo to conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The concert took place on May 13, with a master class for students from the Detroit School for the Arts.
The robot's performance was part of a Honda initiative to improve music education (!), donating $1 million to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's "Power of Dreams" educational fund, partnering with the orchestra to offer classes and performances for young musicians.
Apparently, Honda will also partner with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra over the next five years to offer training in string instruments, a scholarship program, an educational concert series, support for live classical performances and a fundraiser.
