An unusual concert took place in Seoul. The national orchestra of South Korea performed, but an android robot conducted it! The two-handed EveR 6 is designed and developed by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. The concert at the National Theater of Korea was not only the debut for an android conductor, but also the first such show in the world. We will remind, earlier “FACTS” wrote that coffee is prepared in restaurants in Las Vegas.
EveR 6 stepped onto the conductor’s podium and bowed to the audience. Then he started swinging his arms, controlling the tempo of real live musicians.
Helped work Choi Soo-yool. Commenting on the debut, he noted:The conductor’s movements are very detailed. The robot handled it much better than I imagined.“.
However, EveR 6 has a very important drawback, which makes it an inferior conductor so far - the robot cannot listen. Consequently, he cannot control and evaluate the performance of the orchestra players.
One of the listeners of an unusual concert Lee Yong-joo studying traditional Korean musicemphasized:The movements of the work, although flawless in maintaining rhythm, lacked breath, that is, the ability to keep the orchestra ready for collective and instantaneous interaction.“. This is very important for a good conductor.
Another listener, 62 years old Song In Horated the performance of the work as “entry level conductor. “I think he will be able to conduct himself if he is equipped with artificial intelligence to understand and analyze music.“Son said.
In summary, EveR 6 conducted three of the five pieces that the orchestra played that evening. One piece was directed by Choi Soo-Youl. And during the fifth, the robot and the man conducted together.
“This concert showed that works and people can coexist and complement each other, but not replace each other,” Choi said after the concert.
Earlier, FACTS wrote that the creator of the neural network announced the danger of artificial intelligence and quit Google.
