A 42-year-old graphic designer from Hong Kong fulfilled a dream of most men: he created a robot with the face of a famous Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson. The robot's height is close to a real height of a person. A lookalike of Scarlett Johansson can move, bow, smile, and give people compliments.

Ma said that he spent one and a half year and over $50 thousand to fulfill his dream. For a long time, he was trying to find good engineers experienced in the design of humanoid robots.
As a result, Ma had to do everything by himself as he failed to find specialists in this field.

The graphic designer explained that he had to study programming and the basics of 3D printing. He created 3D models of all necessary internal components of the robot.

About 70% of the robot's details were made by means of a 3D printer. Its skin is made of silicon that covers not very attractive electronic parts and makes Mark 1 looks like Scarlett Johansson.

Ricky Ma admitted that he has been obsessed with animation and robots since he was a kid.

The robot can be controlled remotely via a specialized microphone that processes speech and sends commands. Mark 1 can move arms, legs, and head as well as respond with facial expressions. Besides, the robot is able to bow and answer to compliments.
