The hyper-real robots that will replace receptionists, pop stars... and sex dolls: Unnervingly human androids coming to a future very near you

Chillingly life-like robots are causing a storm in Japan - where their creators are about to launch them as actresses, full-size mechanical copies for pop idol fans, and clones of the dearly departed. There is even talk that the naturalistic, even engaging, she-droids may be taken up as men as partners in the not-too-distant future. Daily Mail - Sciencetech (UK)Link.

In Las Vegas, Nevada...  There is a popular play with realistic humanoid robots on stage.  They are in full costume, and their voices are loud and clear. So, it is actually a lot of fun to experience.   In upstate New York, there is a museum with life-size, realistic dinosaur robots.  Some, I guess you might call them dinobots, are programmed to reach their long necks outside of their exhibit, so visitors may touch them on the head.

I still think the androids in their video look a bit on the weird side. Clever though. I would love to see the dinosaur show you mentioned.

Maybe there is one in upstate NY, but I've heard of one near Secaucus, New Jersey.
