Korea's humanoid robot 'HUBO' joins PyeongChang Olympic torch relay


올림픽 성화봉송, ICT 구간 시작, ‘휴보’도 주자로 뛴다

With less than 2 months to the start of the Pyeongchang games… the olympic torch relay continues despite the subzero temperatures.
One of the latest runner to carry to flame fears no cold even being out there in his birthday suit.
It’s none other than Hubo the robot from Korea’s science and technology university.
Lee Ji-won files this report from Daejeon.
From Jeju’s haenyeo, or women divers, to Korea’s legendary warship, the Turtle Ship,… the Olympic torch has been carried around the country by some unique means.
And in Daejeon, robots joined the relay.
On the 41st day of the Olympic Torch Relay, the humanoid robot HUBO and a team of robotics scientists kicked off the third theme of the torch relay, Information Technology, at the country’s technology research hub, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in the western city of Daejeon on Monday.
HUBO won the DARPA Robotics Challenge in 2015, and during Monday’s relay, it re-enacted one of its award winning moves.
Demonstrating its ability to use tools,… the robot broke through a wall and handed over the Olympic flame to its developer Professor Oh Jun-ho.
