Korea's history in robotics engineering is relatively short. KAIST only began research in 2000, led by professor Oh Jun-ho. The first prototype KHR-1 was developed without a head or arms released in 2003, followed by KHR-2 in 2004.
In November 05', KAIST, Korea and Dallas, Texas based Hanson Robotics, Inc (HRI) released the world's first android head mounted on a life-size walking bi-pedal frame at the APEC Summit in Seoul, Korea. The walking frame was the latest in Hubo technology, while the head was an exact recreation of the late physicist, Albert Einstein.
