In hopes to generate publicity for themselves and a good cause, Honda’s ASIMO Robot conducted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for a few minutes during a sold-out concert featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Honda certainly know how to promote their technology. In my opinion, if they really want to impress people (and by that, I mean myself,) they should demo ASIMO organizing the books, papers, and post-it notes spread “neatly” all over my desk! At any rate, like I said earlier this was also about promoting DSO’s efforts to help Detroit youth via their music programs so give credit to Honda for doing something nice for Detroit’s young.

In conclusion, enjoy the video of ASIMO and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra making beautiful music together.
