Through time musical robots have been evolving from simply mimicking human movements to composing music independently and even improvising, just as we do.They will come in all sizes, shapes and varieties from every corner of the world: ancient robots, interactive robots, metal robots, supersonic robots, life-size robots, cabinets with concealed robots and lots of invisible musicians. All of them will play music live. From the USA, the ultramodern and amiable music-making robot Shimon makes an appearance.

From the film of the same name, the French automaton Hugo can be admired in its role as the cinematic link between the world of humans and machines.
