Sophia the robot debuts with live orchestra in AI-themed concert

Humanoid robot Sophia took the stage alongside a live orchestra in Hong Kong on Wednesday (April 29) in her first classical music performance, in an AI-themed concert that merged traditional art forms with innovation. Wearing a gold sequinned gown, Sophia performed three original songs, “Human Grace,” "I Am Your Mirror” and "Wires and Steel," with the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) Symphony Orchestra, drawing rounds of applause from the audience. Unveiled in 2016 by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, Sophia rose to fame for her lifelike facial expressions and media appearances, including a singing performance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". But this marked the first time the social robot had performed with a live orchestra. The concert also featured AI-generated animations, an AI-powered motion capture system, and a performance combining a human dancer with a virtual avatar.
