If you’ve been thinking about getting a synth robot, you might want to check out the Bleeplabs sale:

In preparation for the new products coming out in early November, we’re having a sale on shirts and the last remaining Thingamagoops.

Only a few of each color combo are left.

Normally $130, the Thingamagoops are selling for $90 while stock lasts.

After posting the vintage footage of Kraftwerk performing Das Modell, Keep Werking’s John Shilcock sent me a link to this equally interesting historic performance in Russia of The Robots.

HITEC ROBONOVA-I robots dance to the sounds of Kraftwerk.

Unfortunately, they probably do this before they kill you and use your spinal fluids for lubricant.

Little did we know that Torley would dig up a proto-Daft Punk from 6 years earlier!

This is Space, performing Magic Fly in 1977. More Space madness below! Read more…

The Visually Enabled Musical Arm is a robotic arm that’s capable of playing tunes on the synthesizer by the image inputs it receives after processing a real time(LIVE) video. It uses the concepts of artificial intelligence, image processing and Micro – controller programming.

It’s not going to replace keyboard players anytime soon – unless you’re a one-note synth player – but it’s an interesting demo.
