I think that in a way, the first robots that could play music were the old player pianos, which had programs of punched rolls of paper, but would also
preserve the performances of the muscians who produced those rolls.
This is a little different, as there is now a digital program and the humanoid robot actually holds a violin and plays it.
I'm telling you guys one day Japan is going to rise up out of the ocean and fly off into space and become the very first space country defended by an
army of real life GUNDAM's!!!.........
LOL well gundams reallly are not that far fetched. I heard a story from a old professor of mine about some college students who built a walking
platform. They went to file a patent on it, 2 weeks later they had dropped out of college.
