They should make a robot that drives a car, or makes me a ham and cheese sandwich with a touch of mayo, not one that only does Medieval scripture writing. ]]>Dec 6th 2007 6:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 6:39PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Violin playing robot... jeez.]]>Dec 6th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 7:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 7:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 10:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/

It would not surprise me one bit if it was a yamaha. My 1988 Toyota Celica all-trac had it's venerable turbocharged 3s-GTE engine which was, in fact built by Yamaha. The 2zz engine in the most recent celica was also a yamaha unit. Toyota long trusted yamaha to build the most important part for many of it's performance cars. And why change this when it comes to building robots.]]>Dec 6th 2007 7:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 7:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 10:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 7:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/
Honda tests (& is furthering) artificial intelligence, x-by-wire technologies (sensors, actuators, maybe even nano-tech) that can and, inevitably will be applied to vehicles.

Trust me, this is no toilet on wheels or legs...]]>Dec 6th 2007 8:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/
But I wonder. Was the robot was programmed according to the Suzuki method?]]>Dec 6th 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 6th 2007 9:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/06/toyota-develops-violin-playing-robot/Dec 7th 2007 8:11AM
