Guitar Playing Robots Perform James Bond Theme [VIDEO]

One day robots will run the world!  As for right now, they are getting a few lessons on playing various instruments.

Students at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science configured flying robots to become musicians. 

Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the "couch guitar".

These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.
