Ricky Ma is a Hong-Kong based programmer who has spent 18 months and $50,000 creating a robot called “Mark 1” in the likeness of Scarlett Johansson.
So lifelike it’s creepy.
Mashable report that the bot is made from silicone that has been 3D-printed and can demonstrate facial expressions like winking or smiling. She’s also able to move her arms and legs and respond to compliments.
According to Reuters, almost 70% of the robot’s body has been 3D printed, and when asked about why he decided to take on such a massive project, he replied; “I figured I should just do it when the timing is right and realize my dream. If I realize my dream, I will have no regrets in life.”
When the robot is complimented, she smiles and thanks you, in an eerily lifelike fashion.
