Humanoid robot carried the Olympic torch in South Korea
It's a tradition that's been around since the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, but now the torch relay has been given a very modern update. During the 41st day of the relay in the lead-up to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea, a humanoid robot carried the torch. The robot, called Hubo, walked about 150 metres (500 feet) to a wooden wall, before using a drill to cut a hole and pass the torch through. The robot participated in the relay past the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where it was created. A video from KBS News shows the incredible moment in action.
