If you're lucky enough to have a couple of robot arms lying around, but don't fancy setting them up as sword-wielding sentries, then how about letting them make sweet music? With far more stamina than ever the most coked-up DJ, according to Slashgear "this [pair of Kuko industrial robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-world-labs) have a [selection of vinyl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-record-player) and a bad scratching habit to blur the lines between performance art installations and music".

**Implications** - I can totally see this contraption being a part of [Daft Punk's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-1) live stage show. After all, the robotic duo's constantly kicking major ass on stage, they might as well have an extra robot arm assist them in their badassery.
