A 42-year-old product and graphic designer by the name of Ricky Ma has spent more than £34,000 and a year and a half creating his dream female robot, modelled on Scarlett Johansson.

Well, he hasn’t actually said that it’s modelled on Scarlett Johansson, but I think anyone with eyes can tell she was the inspiration.

The robot, which he’s named ‘Mark 1’ (blatantly calls it ‘Scarlett’ in private) responds to a set  of programmed verbal commands spoke into a microphone and has moving facial expressions.

Ricky says he’s not aware of anyone else in Hong Kong building humanoid robots as a hobby and that few people understand his ambition.

When I was a child, I liked robots. Why? Because I liked watching animation. All children loved it. There were Transformers, cartoons about robots fighting each other and games about robots.

After I grew up, I wanted to make one. But 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’.

A 3D-printed skeleton lies beneath Mark 1’s silicone skin, covering its mechanical and electronic interior.

When I started building it, I realised it would involve dynamics, electromechanics and programming. I have never studied programming, how was I supposed to code?

Additionally, I needed to build 3D models for all the parts inside the robot. Also, I had to make sure the robot’s external skin and its internal parts could fit together. When you look at everything together, it was really difficult.

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.

So what are the chances Ricky fucks this robot when no one else is around? I mean it’s not even a question, is it? This guy 100% gets freaky with this thing. Probably goes in gentle to make sure he doesn’t damage its delicate robot insides. No hardcore action that could potentially ruin years and years of hard work. Asians simply don’t put this much work and effort into something without the being able to stick their penises in it in the end. That’s just how they roll.

Might’ve saved himself the hassle and bought one of the most realistic sex dolls in the world.
