It is nice to hear the pipes playing old-fashioned Scottish tunes. But, it is a cumbersome and a challenging job to screw the pipes and gart them skirl. How nice it would be without these!



Here is a bagpipe music with such a difference. The computer science graduate students of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last year came up with the latest and slightly mind-boggling innovation in bagpipe technology.



It is a robot bagpiper who does the job of hundreds of thousands of skilled pipers worldwide! The robot is programmed to produce the same sound generated by any skilled player. It does it just at the touch of a button. The robotic bagpipe is fondly known as McBlare.
