It’s always interesting to see robot creations from many years ago. You can learn a lot from some old ideas, and what people did when they didn’t have the technology (or access to it) that we have today. This robot here is a flute playing robot. In the video they point out all of its degrees of freedom. Also worthy of note are its lungs.

Here’s a video of the robot in action!
