String robot pulls on your heart

violin playing robot.jpg
Following on from the recent Top Ten Robots You Won't Believe Exist, this one caught my eye over the weekend. One for the Robot Watch category (one day, they will take over the world...).

Number #3 in that list was Toyota's trumpet playing robot, and, make way for his violin-playing sibling.

Check out the video below of the Toyota droid playing a tradional tune at the Japanese Pavilion, in the Shanghai World Expo 2010, which is currently underway. 

Thanks to PlasticPals.com for flagging this one and, no, it isn't a man in a roboot costume. The website describes it as a "reclusive artistic genius" because the violin-playing robot has apparently not been seen since its unveiling back in 2007. This is its second major public appearance...
