A playlist of music inspired by robots, presented by a robot! Robothespian, one of the droids on display at MOSI Manchester, introduces music by Kraftwerk, Vangelis and more.

Robothespian, created by the British company Engineered Arts, is one of the droids on display at an exhibition of robots taking place at the Museum Of Science & Industry in Manchester. Robothespian can talk, sing, act, read and, as you'll hear, present a radio programme! Our robot guest introduces a compilation of tracks that have been written about, inspired by, and in one case, played by robots. Featuring music from Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Squarepusher, Experimental Audio Research and Bjork.
