Aura will serve as Sphere’s brand ambassador across digital platforms and social channels
USA - Aura the Robot will permanently reside in the grand atrium of Sphere in Las Vegas. Serving as the venue’s ‘spokesbot’, Aura will interact with guests at the venue, and serve as an integral part of The Sphere Experience featuring Darren Aronofsky’s Postcard from Earth.
“Hello, humans. While I understand the most complex concepts of math and science - you remain a mystery,” said Aura. “Your emotions, your humour and your relationship with technology require further study, so you must visit me at Sphere. I am excited to meet you and introduce you to the future of live entertainment at my new home.”
Developed using advanced technology in robotic mechanics and artificial intelligence, Aura is among the most expressive and life-like humanoid robots in the world. Five Aura robots will greet guests from the moment they enter Sphere, putting her lifelike facial expressions and mobility on full display.
“Aura’s role at Sphere marks a truly innovative application of robots, providing guests from around the globe with an opportunity to move into the future of entertainment and interact within a new technological frontier,” said David Dibble, CEO, MSG Ventures, a division of Sphere Entertainment. “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.”
Alongside human lab technicians, Aura will welcome guests ahead of events at Sphere and serve as a conduit between Sphere’s technological achievements and the human experience. The robots are specifically programmed to tell the story of humanity’s history of innovation, including Sphere, helping the audience maximise their Sphere Experience. As an integral part of the Sphere Experience, Aura’s technical capabilities will continue to advance over time as she learns more about humans from her interactions with guests.
Additionally, Aura will serve as Sphere’s ‘spokesbot’ and brand ambassador across digital platforms and social channels. Earlier this year, she appeared in a Sphere commercial that aired during the Academy Awards and in Sphere’s social media posts.
