Carrying the Olympic torch has long been known as a tremendous honor. With the PyeongChang Winter Olympics two months away, the torch is making its way around South Korea. Interestingly enough, one of the latest to carry the torch wasn’t human.
Hubo, a robot created by Professor Jun Ho Oh, received the torch from his creator in the city of Daejeon. In order to pass it to the next runner, Hubo was challenged with drilling a hole through a wooden wall made to look like brick. It didn’t seem much of a problem for the KAIST-born humanoid bot.
