Social RoboticsEveR 6 robot conducts the National Orchestra of Korea in Seoul
A state-built android shares the podium with a human maestro before a sold-out house.
EveR 6, developed by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, conducted the National Orchestra of Korea at the National Theater of Korea for around half an hour, alone and alongside human conductor Choi Soo-yeol. Its gestures were learned through motion capture of a human conductor, and it could neither listen to the musicians nor improvise. More than 950 people attended. The concert was a high-profile test of how audiences respond to an android in a role built on human expression and rapport.
