May 18 2007Vinegar robot conducts orchestras

Now THAT was an incredible demonstration video. DId you see that thing! WOW it was just all over the place, and the music he conducted was great. I usually hate orchestral music, but this little guy made it sound like I was at a Rave.

AH ah AH ah haahaAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
That's what i just thought!! =)

I liked the part where he jerked around, then looked up and down the best. I didn't realize conducting an orchestra was so easy. LA Philharmonic, here I come!!!

There's a man in his late 40s lying in the street outside, his clothes look soiled and he reeks of urine mixed with stale beer. So when i poked him with a stick he still managed to move his arms in a more convincing display of orchestral conducting than Vinegar did in that video.

And I'm pretty sure the guy in the street is dead!?

I'm pretty sure that's how most orchestra conductors see themselves, shiny and black and with... er... blue glowing. eyes.

Anyway, i'm pretty sure this isn't so much an orchestra conducting robot as a vinegar-company lecturing robot. Not that it couldn't be adapted, of course.

He looks a little sad and confused..

You lied! You said it would be a video of him in ACTION. You make the baby Jesus cry. I think the Darth Vader theme music would be appropriate any time this monstrosity would enter the room. He could even conduct it himself =P

Vinegar's main purpose is to educate visitors of the Tamanoi Vinegar Corporation’s about vinegar. It's a really disappointing use of an awesome looking robot.

I'm thinking death cannons, maybe a kitten mulching attachment.

I don't care what any of you say, that's the sexiest thing I've seen all day.

Lame !!

it looks like mrs. butterworth

Umm... conducting? orchestra? Where are any of these things? I see a dejected looking robot on the verge of a MCR-style cutting session who happens to be holding a stick that could be vaguely construed as a conductor's baton. This is not truth in advertising, folks.

I can understand that reproducing different elements of the human condition is an important part of developing an android, but why start with apathy?

HEY! it's Aunt Jemima's Terminator husband.

hee hee hah hah ho!

At least we can rest assured that when someone DOES make a Vinegar conquerer-of-worlds Mod that he wont have the hand-eye/blue-LED coordination to rip flesh or orchestrate his mssv armies to actually destroy anything. Woo. Safe till the next Japanese attempted real world robot application.

"Darth Vinegar, rise!"

"Yes master..."

Let me get this straight. A company had a highly expensive robot engineered with no other purpose in mind but to be an advertising gimmick for.......vinegar. Does vinegar really need any publicity? Lets say they didn't advertise vinegar at all. Would vinegar sales be that much different from when they do advertise? In the end, vinegar has its uses, but to me, apple-cider vinegar is apple-cider vinegar regardless of the company you bought it from. Unless you enjoy drinking it straight, can there really be that much a difference of flavor? And what does all this have to do with robots? I'm sure you just answered my question to yourself.

The video is lame, but the photos are cool. Move over Daleks! The Conductor's in town!

Orchestra conductor or twisted fetish sex robot who probes you until your flesh is gone? Only time will tell.

I'm embarrassed to say that this will probably give me nightmares later. Make him stop looking at me!

he looks like he's going "what? you want me to . . . meh. forget this shit."

Dude that's awesome

What a gorgeous robot. I don't even mind the name 'Vinegar.' But we have to stop them from humiliating it by actually making it sell vinegar.

ORCHESTRATE!! ORCHESTRATE!!

Next on Doctor Who, the orchestrating Robot forcing you to drink vinegar.

(Anyway, he looks fab. Just wish he actually DID something as amazing as it looked - "attitude is no substitute for competence".)

Wow serious robo!
