Looks like something every man might want. A Hong Kong man built a realistic, life-sized prototype robot modeled after a Hollywood star - Scarlett Johansson. Looks like 'Her' just made the jump into the physical world!
Ricky Ma is a product and graphic designer. He's been wanting to build his robot ever since he was a kid.
The female prototype robot is called Mark 1 and it took 1.5 years and more than $50,000 to build. Ricky had to study electromechanics and programming and build the robot from scratch on the balcony of his home.
Obviously, it was difficult! But if you want it bad enough, it'll happen.
