The Far East continues to lead the way in terms of robotic innovation, with a host of major companies investing in R&D and investigating potential applications.

This video on YouTube features a series of robot prototypes, including a violin-playing humanoid robot made by Toyota.

There is much to marvel over in this emerging industry, and we hope to see similar developments in this field in the USA so that we do not lose any future competitive edge. For the time being though, and on a much lighter note, we can’t help but wonder if that music robot is capable of mastering some good old country fiddling.
