WABOT-2

Anthropomorphic robot from 1984 that could play music, considered the most advanced of it’s kind in it’s time:

From the Humanoid Robotic’s Institute, Waseda:

Playing a keyboard instrument was set up as an intelligent task that the WABOT-2 aimed to accomplish, since an artistic activity such as playing a keyboard instrument would require human-like intelligence and dexterity. Therefore the WABOT-2 was defined as a “specialist robot” rather than a versatile robot like the WABOT-1.
The robot musician WABOT-2 can converse with a person, read a normal musical score with is eye and play tunes of average difficulty on an electronic organ. The WABOT-2 is also able of accompanying a person while he listens to the person singing. The WABOT-2 was the first milestone in developing a “personal robot”.

Here is a video of the machine performing:
