Flying Robot Rockstars

These Robots Play Musical Instruments Extremely Well

— April 25, 2014 — Tech
YouTube user TheDmel shot this video of flying robots making some wonderful music. The music is created by a team of flying six-rotor robots that play the keyboard, drums, bells and a guitar with minimal strings. The flying robots play a rendition of 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' from a 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as other lovely tunes.

These flying robots will make you curious and wonder how they are able to be this good. The robots were created by KMel Robotics. Surprisingly, these are not the first robots to be used in one of their mini films. Each flying robot has to be precisely positioned in order to control the robots so they will play the instruments perfectly.

The Robots are planned to perform live in Washington, D.C at the USA Science and Engineering Festival.
