This is a late 18th century automaton that plays all by herself a specially built organ, quite impressive :-). Was built by Pierre Jaquet-Droz. Video taken from here: http://dugnorth.com/blog/2006/... decided to upload to youtube because video wasn't here :P

Incredible considering when it was built.

This Is Incredible...!!! And look at her chest; she's even breathing...! Truly a manifestation of human wit...

Back in the late 1980s there was a device in development which allowed carefully positioned electrodes to be placed on the forearms of a human. From the electrodes, tiny electrical currents stimulated contractions in the muscles causing the fingers to twitch, allowing the wearer to play almost any piece written for a keyboard instrument, in much the same way this automaton plays. I wonder what happened to that thing...
