#WatchOutForTheRobots – Musical Swarm of Flying Robots Play the James Bond Theme Song

#WatchOutForTheRobots - Musical Swarm of Flying Robots Play the James Bond Theme Song

It’s #WatchOutForTheRobots Wednesday!

“Watch out for the robots” is just a phrase we use whenever we see a crazy technology that clearly has the potential to be pretty darn scary if it ever were to go awry. No, no, this isn’t because we have a pessimistic view of the future (though phronesis in all technological developments / applications is important), we just love finding/sharing this stuff. 🙂

Next, I hope they develop a swarm of robots that can play the Pink Panther theme, too.

Such an advanced and orchestrated effort of a team of robots seems a feat today, though this video was uploaded about one year ago. I can only imagine what the robots of 2017 will be playing… but I imagine it will be something closer to this.
