In my previous videos I have received alot of comments requesting the vocal styles of Stephen Hawkings so your wish is my command.  This is song is based on the group Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger"   

Vocals Digital DECtalk Express play both the male and female vocals (the same unit as Stephen Hawking used back in the 80's) and it is controlled by a Genesi linux box
Robot Snare, Robot Bass Drum and Tambourine 
Robot Keyboard and my trusty old HP Scanner

thanks

watch the very end of the video there is a little surprise

Robot Band covers Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger featuring Stephen Hawkings DECtalk Vocals

While personally I&#x2019;m not relly a fan of [Maroon 5](http://www.maroon5.com/)&#x2018;s music, I am a fan of it being played by a robot band, especially when it has a Stephen Hawking DECtalk vocal on it. This is the same robot band (or, at least, it&#x2019;s designed by the same guy YouTube user [bd594](http://www.youtube.com/user/bd594?feature=watch)) that gave us the headline-making rendition of The Animals&#x2019; [&#x201c;House Of The Rising Sun&#x201d;](http://thecreatorsproject.com/blog/vintage-computer-symphony-plays-house-of-the-rising-sun).

To create this latest robotic cover he used a robot snare, a robot bass drum, robot tambourine, robot keyboard, an HP Scanner, and a digital DECtalk Express. Whereas the original [&#x201c;Moves Like Jagger&#x201d;](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEPTlhBmwRg&ob=av2n) isn&#x2019;t really to my taste, this robot rendition has a charming quality to it with all those blippy sounds and digitized vocals.

And, in other robot band news, autonomous humanoid robots the HUBOs&#x2014;designed and developed by the [Korea Advanced Institute of Technology](http://www.kaist.edu/edu.html) (KAIST)&#x2014;cover the Beatles&#x2019; &#x201c;Come Together&#x201d;.

Four of Drexel's HUBO robots perform the Beatles' "Come Together" in a demonstration that combines cutting-edge engineering technology and research with creative expression, produced by the Music & Entertainment Technology Laboratory (MET-lab). The HUBOs are operating autonomously (not human-controlled). Their movements are directed by student-developed software to perform the gestures necessary to produce the appropriate notes and beats as dictated by a musical score. Every sound in the video was performed by the robots.

MET-lab student Matthew Prockup created the musical arrangement for drum kit and three "Hubophones", novel percussion instruments designed and constructed by the lab for this performance.

HUBO was designed and developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) Hubo Lab (Dr. Jun Ho Oh, Director). Drexel Engineering kicked-off National Engineers Week by unveiling seven HUBO humanoids at an unprecedented showcase event on February 20, 2012. Their presence at Drexel is part of a large collaborative project with KAIST and seven other U.S. universities with the goal of rapidly advancing humanoids research.
