Rock Stars was a docu-series that aired on National Geographic in 2011. The show follows the lives of three well-known musicians from different genres, fanbases, and backgrounds - Ludacris, Dave Navarro, and Gene Simmons - as they undertake a personal challenge to explore the world of science and technology.

Each episode of Rock Stars delves into a specific scientific subject, such as robotics, neuroscience, or space exploration. Each musician spends a few weeks working with a team of researchers and experts in the field to develop a better understanding of the topic. They take part in hands-on experiments, attend seminars, and meet with the scientists behind the discoveries.

One of the standout moments of the series was when Ludacris explored the world of robotics. He was assigned to work with a team of engineers to create a robot that could mimic human movements. The engineers explained the basic principles of robotic engineering and showed him how they could use sensors and artificial intelligence to make the robot more sophisticated.

Ludacris grew increasingly fascinated by the process and was eager to learn more about the possibilities of robotics. He even took part in a live demonstration where the robot he helped create danced to his hit single
