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 built by students.

The students from the Sarajevo University electrical engineering school agreed to construct Robby after the band requested a robot designed to fit the concept of their album #fakenews, which was released last year.
