"이거 그냥 사람인데..?" 사람보다 더 사람같은 휴머노이드 로봇 역대급 기술!..‘한국 최초’ 휴머노이드 로봇 등장부터 지금까지 '소름 돋는 장면' / YTN 사이언스

In 2004, South Korea took its first step toward becoming a robotics powerhouse by unveiling "HUBO," the country's first humanoid robot developed using its own technology. Although it was only capable of walking on two legs and performing simple movements at the time, the birth of HUBO was a historic event that demonstrated the potential of Korean robotics to the world. Now, more than 20 years later, South Korea's humanoid robots have evolved to a level that surpasses imagination. Starting with HUBO2, which won the world's most prestigious disaster relief robot competition, next-generation humanoids capable of running, dancing, and performing complex tasks like humans are appearing one after another. Recently developed humanoids by domestic researchers possess not only walking capabilities similar to humans but also the ability to maintain balance even under external impacts and navigate rough terrain by independently assessing the situation. Furthermore, based on self-designed high-performance motors and control technologies, they are lifting heavy objects and performing precise tasks comparable to those of human hands. In particular, the latest humanoids developed by KAIST, domestic research institutions, and startups are combining artificial intelligence and autonomous walking technology to make a future where they live and work alongside humans a reality. In a world designed around humans, the sight of robots climbing stairs, opening doors, and performing tasks is no longer just a story from a science fiction movie. In this video, we explore the evolution of robots from Korea's first humanoid robot, Hubo, to the latest humanoids, introducing the remarkable growth story of Korean robotics, which has secured world-class technological capabilities in just 20 years. Can Korea truly leap forward as a new robotics powerhouse leading the era of AI and humanoids? Please check out the scene of this amazing evolution created by Korean technology right now. 👉This video is an excerpt from [Documentary S - Robots Evolving with Humans], aired in September 2013, and [Documentary S Prime - Human Dreams, Humanoids], aired in February 2026. #Robot #Humanoid #HumanoidRobot #AIRobot #RobotTechnology #AutonomousWalkingRobot #BipedalRobot #RobotEngineering #FutureTechnology #RobotIndustry #KAIST #RobotDevelopment #RobotAI #AIRobot #RobotAutonomousDriving #KoreanRobot #robotics #humanoidrobot #AIrobot #futuretechnology #robotengineering #robotinnovation #robotfuture #ytn #ytnscience #KAIST [Copyright (c) YTN science.
