Hubo has voice recognition and synthesis faculties, as well as sophisticated vision in which its two eyes move independently of one another.

Development History

Korea's history in robotics engineering is relatively short. KAIST only began research in 2000, led by professor Oh Jun-ho. The first prototype KHR-1 was developed without a head or arms released in 2003, followed by KHR-2 in 2004. This article is about the year 2000. ... WowRobot KHR-1 is a programmable bipedal humanoid robot introduced in 2004 by a Japanese company Kondo. ...

Latest Breakthroughs

In November 05', KAIST, Korea and Dallas, Texas based Hanson Robotics, Inc (HRI) released the world's first android head mounted on a life-size walking bi-pedal frame at the APEC Summit in Seoul, Korea. The walking frame was the latest in Hubo technology, while the head was an exact recreation of the late physicist, Albert Einstein. The android was able to speak and cover a wide range of natural facial expressions, built upon prior HRI development on the Philip K. Dick android, which made its official debut at the Wired Magazine NextFest 05' in Chicago, Illinois.

The humanoid prototype was officially dubbed "Albert Einstein Hubo".
