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.

BTW, those are high-precision robots by the German manufacturer KUKA normally used in the automotive, pharmaceutical and aerospace industry, as well as in solar engineering. I once did a BMW plant tour in Munich and you could see those robots welding car parts together.

[@richardjrivera3]

Markus I actually work for a company that builds parts for commercial airplanes, and we also use some of those robotic arms. They are very cool to watch.

[@Vtec24]

Markus the robots in the video however are either modeled off those and edited in (the most likely) or they are just clips of them at high speed

[@PathosBedlam]

Even in 2021 this song clip holds up extremely well. Such a catchy tune and a really great set of visual effects. I especially love the subtle Android reference in his pupil close up. Great Job Nigel.

[@ManabiLT]

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.

[@billmcgubbins1476]

Why does being 2021 make a difference? Not an old song by any stretch of the imagination.

[@billmcgubbins1476]

@@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.

[@stserj]

they think that robots will kill them I'm agree with you, this video is awersome

[@WilliamCharlesShaver]

Well, a lot of it appears staged and the video is sped up to give the impression of being in time. The music is pre-recorded. In other words, the video is shot to appear as if the machines 'played it' but they didn't. Plus it is not safe to ever put yourself that close to the machine arms--a malfunction will kill you. So the video is OK but it's not showing you what you think it's showing.

I like how the programmer gave the robots small and slow motions when they're not playing. It's most noticable on the piano bots, it looks like they're drifting a bit when not playing. It mimics human behavior, and isn't necessary, but makes it feel more natural.
