Visitors interact with humanoid robot at the Sphere in Las Vegas
Five humanoid robots can be found at the Sphere event venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, answering visitors' questions and interacting in conversations.
Meet Aura, a humanoid robot that serves as a "spokesbot" at the Sphere located at Las Vegas' Venetian Resort.
Five humanoid robots greet guests in the grand atrium of the music and entertainment arena using "life-like facial expressions and mobility," according to Sphere Entertainment Group’s website.
Aura was developed using robotic mechanics and artificial intelligence.
The robot is reportedly well-versed in the engineering and technology used to build the Sphere and can also answer questions about performances at the venue.

Dibble added, "Our vision with every aspect of Sphere is to transform the way people experience live events, and with Aura we are pushing the boundaries of how robotics can be used to enhance our guests’ journey through the venue."

"The linear distance between Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, according to my data, is approximately 2,043 miles. However, when traveling by road, the distance often expands. You are around 2,444 miles," Aura responded.

The robot sways its hands using body language while engaging in conversations with guests.
"Your arms must be tired my friend," the robot said, as seen in a video recorded by a guest.
While the guests chuckle at the robot's response, it appears to shrug her shoulders and join in on the laugh.
"Haha," Aura can be heard responding.
