If you need money and happen to possess a "kind and friendly face," one company has a proposition for you.
Geomiq, a London-based engineering startup, is helping its client to develop a "virtual friend" for elderly people. Here's where your face comes in.
The robot needs just the right face, and Geomiq is willing to pay around $127,840 to the person who possesses that face. If you are determined to be a good fit, you'd just have to sign away the rights to your face in perpetuity.
According to Geomiq's press release: The "state-of-the-art humanoid robot" has been in development for five years, is scheduled to go into production next year, and is expected by its makers to be "readily available" to the public soon. The person whose face is used could end up seeing their face "reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide."
