Ever wanted to see a robot play Guitar Hero? I know you have. The people over at
Garage Geeks have made that a reality. It is named
Guitar Heronoid They somehow rigged a simple mannequin up with movable fingers. They then placed a Guitar Hero Controller in its hand and let it go. In order to get the robot to hit the notes at the correct times they created a computer program that receives the video feed from the PS2 and then interprets when and where the notes should be hit. That information is then relayed to the actual robot and bam, you have a robot playing Guitar Hero. The robot isn't perfect and does miss notes, but its pretty damn cool none-the-less. If you want to see it in action check out the video below.
