The League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots, or LEMUR, was a Brooklyn-based group of artists and technologists developing robotic musical instruments. Founded in 2000 by musician and engineer Eric Singer, LEMUR's philosophy was to build robotic instruments that play themselves. In LEMUR designs, the robots are the instruments.[1]

LEMUR was supported in part by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), the Greenwall Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, Arts International and Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center.[2]

Other LEMUR members included R. Luke DuBois and Michael Hearst.[3][4] Musical artists who have utilized LEMUR include; Todd Reynolds, Mari Kimura, Lee Ranaldo, Morton Subotnick and They Might Be Giants.[1][5]
