Promobot, which describes itself as a producer of "autonomous service robots for business", is certainly no stranger to the field of robotics having previously featured in the news with its limited, though impressive IR77 robot (which looks like something out of a sci-fi movie from the 1980s), as well as its far more realistic 'Alex' robot which even served as a news anchor on a Russian TV channel.
Now the company is looking to take things one step further by creating ultra-realistic robots that will be used to interactive with customers in hotels, airports and shopping centers in countries across the world within as little as two years.
Applicants should have a "kind and friendly" face and will also need to be over the age of 25.
The winning applicant will have their face digitally scanned and will need to "dictate at least 100 hours of speech material" to provide the robot's builders with a copy of their voice.
They will also need to sign over the use of their appearance "for an unlimited period".

Stella, dear...
Word of advice - never call your mother a synth unless she is one, yikes.
Me too, I’m pretty.
If an illegal robot with a face sneaks across the border can they collect the $450,000 that Biden wants to give them and the $280,000 the robot company will give them to use their face? This could become a real racket.
Robot robs bank. Human goes to jail.
It’s not going to pay me anything. They want young and pretty faces with zero brains behind them, like TV news announcers. And they want them in the proper racial proportions.
Sign me up!!!
People generally think I have “resting murder face” and that I am “intimidating” in general.
I have done little to dissuade this notion. Pity that, I could use a couple hundred thousand right now for a project I’m working on.
Bwahahahahahaha!!
