The Hubos Come Together

Published on Apr 2, 2012

Four of Drexel's HUBO robots perform the Beatles' "Come Together" in a demonstration that combines cutting-edge engineering technology and research with creative expression, produced by the Music & Entertainment Technology Laboratory (MET-lab). The HUBOs are operating autonomously (not human-controlled). Their movements are directed by student-developed software to perform the gestures necessary to produce the appropriate notes and beats as dictated by a musical score. Every sound in the video was performed by the robots.

MET-lab student Matthew Prockup created the musical arrangement for drum kit and three "Hubophones", novel percussion instruments designed and constructed by the lab for this performance.

HUBO was designed and developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) Hubo Lab (Dr. Jun Ho Oh, Director). Drexel Engineering kicked-off National Engineers Week by unveiling seven HUBO humanoids at an unprecedented showcase event on February 20, 2012. Their presence at Drexel is part of a large collaborative project with KAIST and seven other U.S. universities with the goal of rapidly advancing humanoids research.

Come experience the humanoid robot, Hubo up close and personal and hear about innovative robotics in action!

During his first year at Drexel as a mechanical engineering major, RJ became involved with the Drexel Autonomous Systems Lab (DASL), where he cultivated a love for manufacturing and robotics. During his Sophomore year, he became a part of an international research collaboration with the humanoid robot, Hubo. Come experience the humanoid up close and personal and hear about innovative robotics in action! Also hear guest speaker and fellow Drexel student Chelsea Knittel talk about making robot clothes!
