Following an extended world tour in 2007, Honda’s ASIMO humanoid robot will show off its skills in 2008 by conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). ASIMO will lead the Orchestra as it performs “Impossible Dream†to open a special concert performance with renowned cellist Yo-Yo M as a way to highlight the DSO’s nationally acclaimed music programs for young people in Detroit. After the concert on 13 May, ASIMO will also demonstrate its unique capabilities for hundreds of area school children, followed by a specially arranged master class at the DSO. [DetroitSymphony]
