VIDEO: Hong Kong designer creates robot that looks just like Scarlett Johansson

Tony Cuddihy

Got a spare $50,000?

If you do, you could follow the example of Ricky Ma from Hong Kong and build yourself a life-sized replica of Scarlett Johansson a Hollywood actress that he’s too polite to name.

Ricky is a robotics obsessive and spent $50,000 creating his own version of the Lost in Translation star from 3D printed parts and silicon skin.

The robot – called ‘Mark 1’ – can move her arms and legs and respond to Ma when he compliments her.

We really need to get ourselves a hobby.
