A night concert at China s Tsinghua University attracted over 1,500 students and traditional Chinese music fans on Saturday evening in Beijing.
The concert celebrated the university s 110th anniversary. Fang Jinlong, a master of the traditional Chinese instrument Pipa, and three humanoid robots from the Tsinghua Moja Robot Band performed several Chinese music pieces.
I m happy to see our performance can mix science and technology with traditional Chinese culture, said Fang. Fang added that the robots are more precise and formal, while he is more agile and improvisational, so the two integrate well.
The robot band comes from interdisciplinary research by the Academy of Fine Arts and the Future Laboratory of Tsinghua University. The band name Moja is from Mohism, one of many schools of thought before the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-207 B.C.).
