    Robots rock, they were fun to work with. My favorite is the robotic drummer. More work to be done, and maybe I could play with them live. Stay tuned :) Thank you to Kuka, Sennheiser and Roland

      @Kraik It's 100% CGI in the vid sorry. Its clear as day. The first bit with the laser cutter shows that easily. The keys on the piano/keyboard are not being pressed down, the guitar is not being strummed properly.
      It's still a very, very impressive blend of CGI with film, but it is not real.

      @Kraik I didn't need to because the video is so obviously CGI any article that says otherwise is lying.
      Use your eyes and look for yourself. Look at the little details. The lighting is off on the robots, their movements are off. When they hit piano keys the keys aren't being pressed down etc as I said before.

    Such a cool video.
    I'm a CNC engineer (I work with industrial robots), and they really can do that. The laser thing is not quite like that and is definitely CG, but it's still cool.
    Just want to add that there are lasers that powerful, and even more powerful, but they work close to the material as they have to focus on the surface, but in theory you could build a focusing system to get them to do that. Also as you can probably tell, these robots are as fast as they are powerful, and it's VERY dangerous to be around them. They could crush a human in an instant.

      It's also amazing seeing how well the robots play the piano & keyboard. Those suckers move _fast,_ far faster than most people think they can, but also are incredibly accurate in those movements.

      @@ManabiLT I take it you've not had the pleasure of watching an industrial robot like these perform a speed/precision display? If given the chance, take it. They're AMAZINGLY agile, fast, and precise. They'll take a glass topped off with champagne, set it on the ground, then grab it, rocket it to their highest possible reach, then stop so abruptly it looks like it hit a brick wall, and then shoot it back down to floor and not spill a SINGLE drop of bubbly. Yes, droplets do fly upward when the robot hits the top of the movement and stops abruptly, but literally EVERY drop falls right back into the glass.

      Well, you only ever see three robot arms. The laser at the beginning is CGI and I'm guessing that quite a few other frames are composited to make it look like there are twnty robots working. I also doubt that he was reallt walking between the robots that way... one bug and he's off to hospital...
