Humanoid robot called Robby Megabyte is seen in Sarajevo
SARAJEVO (Reuters) – Bosnia’s most popular rock band, Dubioza Kolektiv, has a new recruit who sings and plays musical instruments – a humanoid robot called Robby Megabyte.
Students from Sarajevo University’s electrical engineering school agreed to build Robby after the band requested a robot designed to fit the concept of their album #fakenews, which was released last year.
“Our robot… likes to eat, drink, shout, he likes music,” said Vedran Mujagic, the band’s bass guitar player who was most involved in designing the concept for Robby.
In a video clip for the #fakenews album, one band member thinks it would be fun to have a robot do his work while he relaxes and has fun, so he orders one and assembles it.
