North Dallas startup turns humanoid robots into the hottest guests at local events - CBS Texas

A North Dallas startup, The Robot Studio, is turning humanoid robots into must‑book talent for parties, weddings and corporate events. Founded last fall by Aaron Mehdizadeh, the company rents out a growing fleet of robots — including its breakout star, Benji, who has taught dance classes, delivered keynotes, been booted from a mall, and built a 5,000‑plus social following.
