The Olympics are adding AI Powered Robots from next month's Winter Games

The South Korean government is planning to have 85 robots at the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang next month. In December 2017, a humanoid robot named HUBO, made history by carrying the Olympic torch in the city of Daejeon. It used a tool attached to it's arm to cut off a huge chunk of wall and hand over the torch to it's creator, Professor Oh Jun-Ho. He then handed the torch on to another robot, named FX-2. HUBO, developed a few years ago by the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, was originally designed for rescue missions and won the DARPA robotics challenge in 2015. The FX-2 on the other hand, is a collaboration between HUBO lab and Rainbow Robotics and was built for the purpose of carrying the Olympic torch.
