The robots are taking over. OK, so they're not about to gain sentience and enslave us, Skynet-style, quite yet but let's just say some of today's more perfunctory pop stars ought to be looking over their shoulders. Last year, German boffins constructed a robot band called Compressorhead who brought a new meaning to the term "heavy metal" with their scarily on-point renditions of rock classics such as Ace Of Spades and AC/DC's TNT. In Sweden, students at the KTH Royal Institute Of Technology are building a robot version of singer Robyn (although it's still a long way off usurping the human version).
