Android robot to conduct Korean national orchestra

An Android robot is to conduct the Korean national orchestra.

The 5f11 robot is known as EveR 6 and will conduct the orchestra in the Asian country on Friday (30.06.23) and lead a performance of The Busan Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance of the brand-new 'Disproof', using "programmed movements" and motion caption technology to complete the actions.

Lee Dong-wook of the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, which developed the technology, said:"EveR 6 is a robot that executes programmed movements. The robot is programmed using the ‘motion capture’ technology of digitally recording a person’s baton trajectory through sensor attachments. In the future, we plan to develop the robot through data learning to a stage where a conductor can use it as an auxiliary tool requesting a specific beat."
