The robot is apparently smarter than the dipshit of an announcer.

Seriously, it is.

"whats impressive about a robot programmed to move a certain way to make music?"

It,s impressive because it takes extreme precision and fine control to move that way. These robots are masterpieces of assembly and programming. Fine, precise movement is important in robots because their use is spreading into finer realms of manufacturing and even into surgery.

No one is trying to replace musicians. Get off your high horse, don't be so ignorant.

btw: SYNTHESIZERS are emotionless machines too

The robot is playing one of the Pomp and Circumstance Marches!!

Check out Accept - Pomp And Circumstance (metal/rock band of the 80s)

Amazing. :O Shame that even after viewing this some people stay skeptic for whatever reason they posses or post outright ignorant and/or provocative comments.

This is the future, you are not in it, if you continue your logical fallacy.
