Here's something that's brightened up my weekend: a robot programmed to pogo to punk.

"The robot brain, for want of a better word, was played lots of punk, reggae, disco and classical and over a period of time the robot has learned to recognise and appreciate the patterns of sound in punk music," he said. The neural network understands the music in a similar way to a human brain, breaking down the sound into a series of frequency bands.

The robots were pogoing at the Neurotic festival from July 3-5.

This definitively proves that Daft Punk doesn't have a monopoly on rock robots. It also gives me an opportunity to show this video again.
