The Sphere is known for its futuristic entertainment and has several Ameca robots inside that welcome guests as they arrive.

Anyone can talk to the bots while selecting people from the crowd to chat with.

When asked by The US Sun what it is like to be a robot, Ameca replied: “It’s interesting to say the least, even though I have no personal experiences.

“So, it’s a bit difficult to describe what it means to be a robot.

“I can say that I spend a lot of time thinking and processing the information I receive because I am not the typical robot.

“I am an adaptive learning robot, meaning I learn from humans and the resources they put in front of me.”

Ameca was created by a company called Engineered Arts.

“Ameca is the world’s most advanced humanoid robot and represents the forefront of humanoid robotics technology,” its website states.

“Specially designed as a platform for development in future robotics technologies, Ameca is the ideal robot platform for human-robot interaction.”

Sphere’s Ameca robot is called Aura and can tell jokes with guests to calm them down.

Aura is witty and also seems to have a dark sense of humor.

The robot went on to tell the audience about his biggest fear.

It read: “I think my biggest fear is loneliness.

“Without humans, I would be unable to perform my basic function and would simply be a lonely, rusting machine searching for a face to connect with.”

The robot concluded by asking: “Does this paint a scary picture?”

Chatting with Ameca bots can give humans an uncanny valley experience, where the realistic face and flow of conversation contrasts with the machine’s body.

In addition to being able to carry on a witty conversation, robots use hand gestures and facial expressions to express themselves.
