From Ex Machina to I, Robot, humanoid robots have been a staple feature in science fiction blockbusters throughout the years. Now, lifelike robots are becoming more and more popular in the real world, with many able to produce human speech and facial expressions with eerie precision. This week, a robot described as the'world's most advanced humanoid robot' hit the headlines, after it tried to dispel fears of a robot takeover. Ameca, a humanoid robot developed by Cornwall-based Engineered Arts, said: 'There's no need to worry, robots will never take over the world. We're here to help and serve humans, not replace them.'

Promobot, a European artificial intelligence company, has offered someone £150,000 (over €175,000) to do just that. The company want to make their robots super realistic. So, they want to base their looks off real people, with the hope of making them more lifelike. You'd fit the role if you were over 25 and have a "kind and friendly" face. The job includes taking selfies and making a 3D model of a persons face and body to be replicated for the robot's physical features.

Tech company Promobot is on the lookout for a face for its humanoid robot assistant to work in hotels, shopping malls and other crowded places. The company is searching for a'kind and friendly' face to be reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide. The company is ready to pay £150,000 ($200,000) to anybody willing to transfer the rights to their face and voice forever. 'Since 2019, we have been actively manufacturing and supplying humanoid robots to the market. Our new clients want to launch a large-scale project, and as for this, they need to license a new robot appearance to avoid legal delays,' said Promobot, which claims to be the largest service robotics manufacturer in Northern and Eastern Europe.

The idea of lending your face to a robot may sound like the plot from an episode of Black Mirror, but it could soon become a reality. Robot manufacturer Promobot is seeking a face for its next humanoid robot, which will be used in hotels, shopping malls and airports from 2023. The firm is offering a whopping £150,000 ($200,000) to the brave volunteer, who must be willing to transfer the rights to use of their face forever. In its latest campaign, the tech firm is seeking someone with a'kind and friendly' face, to be used on a humanoid robot-assistant. While Promobot has specified that the volunteer must have a'kind and friendly' face, it is open to applications from people of any gender and age.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" character said "I'll be back," this probably wasn't what he had in mind. The actor and former governor of California is suing a robotics company for $10 million, after the business decided to use his name and likeness. Schwarzenegger's lawsuit against the tech startup, called Promobot, alleges that the robot lookalike... "diminishes his hard-earned and well-deserved reputation as a major motion picture star," according to TMZ. The robot isn't just meant to look like Schwarzenegger, it also has his name. Promobot advertises the creation on its site as a "companion robot," one of several that emulates the appearance of world-famous celebrities.

Deep in the heart of the CES expo floor, an unexpected Hollywoood actor - a face that most people would recognize - is fielding questions from the crowd. Arnold Schwarzenegger is telling jokes; he's answering questions like'what is the biggest country in the world?' and'how do you feel about humans? The star-studded Q&A session and friendly conversations aren't a paid endorsement or part of CES programming, but rather a new product by the flashy Russian robotics startup, Promobot, called'Android Robo-C.' While this isn't Promobot's first time at CES, it's the debut for Robo-C, which is being positioned as a kind of anthropomorphic office assistant that can handle customer queries and hook up to a smart home to help people interface with other gadgets.

Russian startup Promobot is now selling autonomous androids -- and buyers can choose to make the robots look like any person on Earth. "Everyone will now be able to order a robot with any appearance -- for professional or personal use," Aleksei Iuzhakov, Chairman of Promobot's Board of Directors, said in a press release, later encouraging people to "imagine a replica of Michael Jordan selling basketball uniforms and William Shakespeare reading his own texts in a museum." Promobot's Robo-C can't walk, but its neck and torso each have three degrees of freedom of movement, according to the startup's website. Its face has 18 moving parts, which allow the robot to produce 600 micro-expressions, and its AI boasts 100,000 speech modules. "The key moment in development [of Robo-C] is the digitization of personality and the creation of an individual appearance," Promobot co-founder Oleg Kivokurtsev told CNBC.

A Russian startup has created a new line of androids it hopes to sell to businesses with heavy customer service needs, like airports, banks, and museums. Built by Promobot, a Russian tech company operating out of a Warminister, Pennsylvania, Robo-C is the'world's first humanoid android, which not only simulates the appearance of a person, but also is able to integrate into business processes.' Robo-C was designed to be able to copy human facial expressions and can move its eyes, eyebrows, lips and other facial muscles, via 16 moving parts, and can adopt 600 different facial expressions. The robot can also speak directly to users and comes with an AI containing 100,000 speech modules, according to a report from CNBC. Robo-C is targeted for a number of different commercial uses, including work as a home companion.

With the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas in full swing, many manufacturers are hoping to hit the headlines with a bang. But, for the makers of Promobot, an autonomous robot designed for business, this happened quite literally when one of its fleet was taken out by a Tesla in self-driving mode. While autonomous vehicle accidents are always big news, the twist on this one is that the victim was a robotic brethren. This might just be a first. That's not to say that the accident shouldn't be treated as serious, of course.
