This is claimed as first time in the history that having a robot to host a wedding. This was the wedding for one of the engineers who designed the robot, Mr Seok Gyeong-Jae and his bride, who were at Daejeon, 130 kilometres (78 miles) south of Seoul.
The robot is called Trio, who acted as the host for the wedding ceremony, which he was there to entertain the guests. Trio features a cone-shaped body, two arms and a dark-glassed face with eyes and a mouth of flashing lights.
Trio spoke in a male voice, introduced the couple to the crowd, let the couple bow to them and performed all the programmed duties. After completing the programmed tasks for the wedding, Trio would then be programmed for carrying out some other more difficult tasks. Trio is now worth about $215,000.
