Toyota Robot plays trumpet

Perhaps this is where Data got his musical ability – distant ancestral memory.

My friend Andrew sent this to me, though I’m not sure if this is necessarily proof that Japan is better than the US.

Note: Toyota seems to lack imagination when it comes to naming their robots. Honda named theirs Asimo, which is a clever acronym, but also evokes Isaac Asimov.
