3 Mark 1 – The Scarlett Johansson Bot

4 Mark 1 – The Scarlett Johansson Bot
As robotics and 3-D printing technologies become more accessible to home tinkerers, men are (of course) building robots of beautiful women. Anyone who’s turned on a TV in the past decade shouldn’t be surprised to learn that one of the first—and creepiest—examples of this development involves movie star Scarlett Johansson. Is there any legal recourse to prevent someone from building a ScarJo bot, or Beyonce bot, or a bot of you? Sure, people make doll and wax replicas of famous people all the time. But the difference here is that Mark 1 moves, smiles, and winks. “It being animate all of a sudden for some reason feels too invasive,” said Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington. Robotics labs have made more meticulous robotic replicas of humans. What makes Ma’s Frankenstein-like invention so remarkable is that he built it it in his apartment.
