The Tsukaba Musical Robot (= Wabot-2) is built in 1985 by a large group of the Waseda University in Tokyo. Wabot-2 can sight-read music notation and plays organ with two hands and two feet. WABOT can accept song requests in spoken japanese and follow in tune and in rhythm with a human singer. (Computer Music Journal 10(2), 1986, p. 39-43).
When I saw this wonder on the Japanese television, I was fascinated by the live performance of this japanese music player.
Who knows more about 's happen with Mister Wabot-2 ? What's about his sons and daughters now?
