The robot, which has a humanoid face and two arms, successfully guided more than 60 musicians playing traditional Korean instruments for over half an hour.

EveR 6 is 5 foot 10 inches tall and was programmed to replicate the movements of a human conductor through motion capture technology.

The robot is not capable of listening or improvising in real-time.

This was the first time a robotic conductor has performed in South Korea.
