...specifically, Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

ASIMO to Conduct Symphony Orchestra - Slashdot

http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/03/0449234

DeviceGuru writes to mention that Honda's ASIMO robot will apparently be leading the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a performance of "Impossible Dream" from the conductors podium.

I can't wait for Docs comment about this one
