A guy has made a robot that’s the spitting image of Scarlett Johansson

Can you trademark your own appearance? Scarlett Johansson might want to look into that.

That's because Ricky Ma, a 42-year-old designer and self-taught engineer based in Hong Kong, has built a humanoid robot that eerily resembles the Avengers actress.   [caption id="attachment_50367" align="alignnone" width="800"] Via Instagram / Ricky Ma[/caption] The robot, named 'Mark 1', is made form 3D-printed lifelike silicone skin and more than 30 individual moving parts. In all, it cost $50,000 (£35,000) to create. Ma has said that he modelled the machine based on a Hollywood star's appearance, but refused to confirm that it was indeed Johansson. But the resemblance is undeniable.

The result is uncanny and, in his humble opinion, well worth it. [caption id="attachment_50389" align="aligncenter" width="800"] via Ricky Ma Creation Facebook[/caption] He told Reuters:

"During this process, a lot of people would say things like, 'Are you stupid?  This takes a lot of money. Do you even know how to do it? It's really hard. I figured I should just do it when the timing is right and realise my dream. If I realise my dream, I will have no regrets in life."

The robot is also programmed with some vocal responses, and can also wink and move its limbs. [caption id="attachment_50390" align="aligncenter" width="2566"] via Insider YouTube[/caption] You have to wonder what ScarJo would make of ScarRo?
