Two dinosaur robots take a stroll in Tokyo on Friday. Parasaurolophus (front) is 5.3 feet tall, 11.5 feet long and 187 pounds, and Tyrannosaurus has about the same dimensions. Japanese scientists developed the bots to greet visitors at the six-month World Exposition, which will kick off March 25 in central Japan.
