For the first performance of the robot EveR 6 as a conductor, Cui Xiuyeol said that the movements of the conductor are very delicate, and the robot EveR 6 can present so many details better than expected, and the advantage lies in the stable control of the music rhythm. From the perspective of a professional conductor, EverR 6 has a “key weakness”: it cannot monitor the effect of the live performance of the symphony orchestra, that is, the robot “cannot hear”.
However, Choi Soo Yeol affirmed EveR 6’s performance, saying, “This is a musical performance that shows that humans and robots can coexist and complement each other, rather than having to replace one with the other.”
ResearchSouth KoreaLee Young-joo, a viewer of traditional music, said that while the robot EveR 6 conductor was impeccable in controlling the tempo during a performance at the National Theater of Korea, “it lacked ‘breathing’, or the ability to get the symphony orchestra to focus and prepare for the performance.” “. It seems that if the robot is to be fully competent as a band conductor, it still needs to continue to carry out scientific and technological research and development.
62-year-old Song In-ho (Song In-ho) said after watching the performance that the command level of the robot EveR 6 seems to be at an elementary level. “I think that when it is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to understand and analyze the music, it may be able to conduct on its own.”

The robot, called EveR 6, was developed by the Korea Industrial Technology Research Institute in 2022. It is designed after the human body, can express some emotions, and has a neck and arms that can change positions quickly. As a result, the robot is able to achieve exactly the speed and motion required by a human to direct it.
Yonhap News Agency reported that Cui Xiuyeol said in an interview with the media: “For robots, the most challenging thing is the real-time communication and interaction during live performances, especially in the background of music. In the performance, I will show the human conductor How to stand out from the robots with leadership skills and the ability to interpret music.”
Although EveR 6 is the first robot in South Korea to act as a bandleader, it is globallySymphony OrchestraThere has been an increasing trend in the number of robot conductors in performances. These robot conductors include Honda Asimo in 2008, Swiss Yumi in 2017, Japan’s second-generation artificial intelligence robot Alter 2 in 2018, and the third-generation robot Alter 3 in 2020.
