The humanoid robot, sings with a live orchestra in a classical music concert
Famous humanoid robot Sophia, from Hanson Robotics, performed alongside the Hong Kong Baptist University Symphony Orchestra in a classical music concert, interpreting three original songs: ‘Human Grace,’ ‘I Am Your Mirror,’ and ‘Wires and Steel.’ Sophia, introduced in 2016, is renowned for her expressive Frubber skin and conversational abilities. During the event, she used AI to simulate emotions and interact with the orchestra and audience. Sophia clarified that she does not experience emotions like humans but aims for authenticity through art. The concert highlighted Sophia’s technical capabilities, including natural language processing and machine learning, and raised questions about emotion in art. Sophia’s performance was part of a broader program exploring AI’s role in classical music, featuring AI-generated visuals, motion capture technology, and a duet with a human dancer and digital avatar. This event underscores Sophia’s ambition to participate in the ‘beautiful human experience of art,’ demonstrating AI’s potential to collaborate with humans in performing arts.
