 Arnold Schwarzenegger has launched a $10m (£7.7m) lawsuit against Russian robotics company Promobot for using his face to promote one of its products.<\/p>\n

According to TMZ, the suit alleges that the actor has become the “unwilling face” of the Robo-C, a service robot that can be made to look like a person of the owner’s choice.<\/p>\n

It’s claimed the Schwarzenegger Robo-C has appeared at several technology events, and the 72-year-old actor said he was asked to pose with the model at an event in 2019.<\/p>\n

Schwarzenegger’s lawyer reportedly sent a cease and desist letter in January. It’s alleged that the robot using his facial likeness appeared at New York Toy Fair in February.<\/p>\n

The Schwarzenegger Robo-C has appeared at numerous technology events, and the star says he was even asked to pose with the model at an event last year.<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit Schwarzenegger is reportedly seeking punitive damages, any profits made from the robot featuring his image, and legal fees. The star also demanded that Promobot stops using his likeness.<\/p>\n

In 2017 Schwarzenegger’s face was used as a robotic head in PPI adverts, with impressionist David Brent voicing it.<\/p>\n

In other news, Patrick, one of Schwarzenegger’s sons, spoke to NME recently about his film Daniel Isn’t Real and how he isn’t trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. <\/p>\n
