License Your Face For a Mass-Produced Robot for $129,000

https://bit.ly/2NcH4wO

It’s difficult to define the concept of “waking nightmare,” but letting a company slap your face like a silicone flapjack on mass-produced robots that will be used in countless people’s homes sounds like a pretty good example of it. Although if, for some reason, that situation doesn’t seem like the most Twilight Zone-esque development ever, there is now a slim possibility of making it a reality. And it comes with a payment of about $129,000.
According to an October 11 blog post by Geomiq (via Popular Mechanics), the London-based, data-driven manufacturing platform is looking for a person who’s willing to offer up their face to be used for a “kind and friendly” one that will be applied to the head of a “state-of-the-art humanoid robot” it’s helping to build.
