I've read the thread, just replying to OP to answer all the of the above. What you are referring to is Animesh. You could even rez your Maitreya and make it an Animesh (*IF* it were modify, which is it not). These have already started appearing on MP as "Animesh Play Dolls". A friend of mine has even created one. The trick with the Animesh "doll" or "robot" being the masseuse on a massage table is where people stumble.
Normally, there would be a message table as a furniture prop, two avatars sit and you have both: the one being massaged and the masseuse. But with Animesh it's different: the Animesh has to be the one the avatar sits on, then the Animesh rezes the masseuse table and the animated then places both onto it. If you want to see what I mean, you can search Market Place for "Animesh play doll" and see a small selection right there.
As a challenge to myself, I decided to make a script that allows an animesh doll to use animated furniture. I got it working pretty well. It works with "avsitter v2" furniture, and requires you to add a script to the furniture, as well as copy all applicable animations into the animesh object.
When done correctly, the animesh doll will join you on the furniture, occupying the spot that is free. It can even swap places with you if you chose the swap command. You sit on the furniture as normal, not on the animesh doll.
