There is a robot "guide" in the Dinosaur Hall at Carnegie Museum of Natural
History. They are getting another one to be a guide in the American Wildlife
Hall (I think). It is a collaborative of our Museum, the Robotics Institute
at Carnegie Mellon University and Redzone Robotics, Inc., all based in
Pittsburgh.
        It has "moods", tracks number of people, "talks", moves through the
hall and much more. There is so much to say about "him" and the
capabilities, I cannot do it justice. Here is a number that may be able to
help, Judi Bobenage (412)622-3375.

For your information, I write this:
There is a corporate museum in New York, called Sony Wonder.
They have a robot at an entrance and can have communications with
visitors.  They wonder how this robot can recognize human beings
and respond as if it were also a human being.  When you step into
the museum, you can see the robot is operated by a human wearing
3-D eye glasses(I do not know how to explain).
Hope it helps.
