Cybraphon is an experimental music installation, described as an "autonymous emotional robot band":

Inspired by early 19th century mechanical bands such as the nickelodeon, Cybraphon is an interactive version of a mechanical band in a box. Consisting of a series of robotic instruments housed in a large display case, Cybraphon behaves like a real band. Image conscious and emotional, the band’s performance is affected by online community opinion as it searches the web for reviews and comments about itself 24 hours a day.

Cybraphon an its creators were recently featured in The Telegraph:

Cybraphon also is active on Twitter, delivering comments like "I am feeling: bliss" on a regular basis.
