Awwww, it's just a clever music video, with preprogrammed actions.

disappointing.

I mean, ok, there's some reasonably smart control stuff going on, but I was hoping it was going to be some kind of interesting machine learning that could collaborate on the fly.

CGI rendered tests to further fool you into thinking it's not all CG. It's been done before.

This seems like a job for Captain Disillusion!

EDIT: Perhaps I should clarify a bit. By CGI I don't just mean it's all 3D renders. I mean more that it's all computer trickery of some sort. Some 3D, some compositing, lots of time manipulation. Just look at how often he's clearly green screened in. Look at how the cymbals move. A robotic arm can punch through a piano? There's a lot of CG going on here. And if it's in the crazier shots, I don't see why it wouldn't be in the simpler shots.

I don't think all of it is. These tests seem like they wouldn't have been done if the whole video is cgi.

The people who made the video talk about it here. I listened to a bit and they mention the recording and playback speeds were mucked with a lot, but it's apparent the robots playing the instruments were real in a physical way (the music they played sucked it seems). Listening to them talk about how crazy programming the robots were was entertaining. But yes lots of movie magic type stuff im guessing.
