Robot Plays Guitar Hero on Expert Level and Succeeds
Nov 23rd, 2008 by Guitar MX Admin
A robot has recently proven that you don’t need soul to play Guitar Hero. A robot called “Cythbot”, developed by Cyth Systems, can play through Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” at Expert level with up to 98% accuracy. Here’s a video of the feat.
Cythbot works a lot like Guitar Heronoid, a Guitar Hero playing mannequin developed by Israeli Software Engineers. A camera is used to view and analyze the notes appearing on the screen. Signals are then sent to Cythbots pneumatic fingers, which compress the fret buttons and strum bar on the Guitar Hero controller.
When it comes to Guitar Hero, we humans may have to someday concede to the robots. But when it comes to playing the actual guitar, robots still have a long way to go.

Can a robot help me find the right guitar for my brother’s next birthday present?!

All I can say is Why?
Guitar Teacher just sighing and shaking his head

i’m at a lost for words. what will they come up with next? a robot to play halo? Come on~ The whole point of guitar hero or any other game is for a human to play. If you get a robot to play a game designed for a human so that we can watch it play… why play it?!
