A Robot Conductor in Stage!

I know, it is all about pre-programmed robot in the video below.
But we all go into training to get ourselves into some familiar sequence of nice notes. That is also a kind of programming. I found a video in which the robot Asimo directing people as a conductor in a nice stage program.

Many people may find trouble to work under robot.
Oh, actually you can find humans working as robots whenever you call to the 1-800 numbers which are usually equipped with real people trained to behave as robot.
The debate on whether robots are going to outsmart people will continue.
Enjoy the video.
