A Japanese company called Little Island has just revealed that they will make a custom robot version of you--for the right price, of course.
The doll will be created in your likeness, will be able to speak in your voice and can be controlled remotely via a LAN connection that will work like VoIP to really freak people out.
Other than that, the "robot" itself doesn’t seem to have any robot qualities and is more like a plush doll that can speak in your voice.
At over $2000 each, having your own Mini Me isn't cheap, and you’ll have to wait up to 6 weeks after sending in your picture to receive it.
