A night concert at Tsinghua University in Beijing attracted(吸引) more than 1,500 students and traditional Chinese music fans last weekend. The concert celebrated the university's 110th anniversary. Fang Jinlong,a master of the traditional Chinese instrument pipaand three humanoid(人形的)robots from the Tsinghua Moja Robot Band performed several Chinese music pieces.

　　“I'm happy to see our performance can mix science and technology with traditional Chinese culture,"said Fang.

　　The band is made up of three robot musicians, Yuheng, Yaoguang and Kaiyang, named after three stars of the Big Dipper. They play three kinds of traditional Chinese instruments.

　　Set up in 2018, the team to develop the band is mainly made up of students,teachers and graduates from Tsinghua University. As the team's leading scientist,Mi Haipeng is a professor of art. He joined in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan.That experience inspired his dream to make a Chinese robot band.

　　Mi said the music pieces in the concert were specially tailored(專門制作)for the robots to play. The robots'shells and stage clothes were made by 3Dprinting technology. According to Mi,there are more performance plans for Moja in the future,introducing new music pieces. The team , meanwhile would improve the musical sense and emotional(感情的）expression of robots, he added.

　　“Robots stand for science and technology,which are popular among young people. We hope this robot performance will take root in traditional Chinese music and inspire young people's interest in our culture,"Mi said.

　　“We want to show our achievements of science, technology and art through the stage. We also plan to spread traditional music and culture with artists in a new way,”said Zhao Hong, director of the concert.
