A video, recorded in April, shows 14 robots and two humans singing Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 while another robot conducts them.<br /><br />The robots, all named 'Pepper' are humanoid creations by SoftBank Mobile and Aldebaran Robotics, designed with the ability to read emotions. Each one is controlled through a computer that is programmed to identify different singing parts. The choir is called the "Mirai Capsule", mirai means 'future' in Japanese.<br /><br />The choir has been criticised by fans of classical music who say the machines ruin a masterpiece.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Subscribe to our channel: http://read.ht/fLZ<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/htTweets<br /><br />Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hindustantimes<br /><br />Watch more videos at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/video<br /><br />hindustantimes.com © 2015
