Moja, a Chinese-style robot band from Future Laboratory, Tsinghua University, recently completed its performance after six months of upgrade and preparation.

Back in April, at the 108th anniversary of Tsinghua University, the world's first Chinese-style robot band was unveiled. It was called MOJA and featured three robot musicians, with the row of drums "Kaiyang", the bamboo flute "Yuheng" and the harp "Yao Guang". On April 27, three robots in exquisite costumes performed the stage musical "Moja Fantasy" in the Tsinghua Garden for the first time.

The new version of the band has four robot characters, playing four different ensemble repertoires and two solo repertoires. Compared with the old version, the new MOJA robot band has been greatly improved on the costume, makeup, choreography, repertoire and performance.

“Robots have many potentials and can accomplish many things that were previously unimaginable to us.” Mi Haipeng, the project director and associate professor at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, said. Beyond the technology, the team hopes the audience would enjoy the modeling, music, performing arts, and cultural expression.
