Man makes Scarlett robot

A 42-year-old man in Hong Kong spent 50,000 to realize a childhood dream: making a robot modeled on a Hollywood star, Reuters reports. Jezebel concurs, writing, "It does look just enough like Johansson for her to maybe want to consider taking out a restraining order." Still--after a year and a half of work, including teaching himself programming and electromechanics--Ma isn't letting anyone bring him down. "If I realize my dream, I will have no regrets in life," he tells Reuters, which has photos and video of his creation. Ma built the Mark 1 on the balcony of his apartment. It was a largely lonely experience.
