# Actress-Inspired Robots The 'Mark 1' Human Robot Features a 3D-Printed Skeleton By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-04-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-robot References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/50000-3d-printed-humanoid-robot-unveiled-video/) & [3ders.org](http://www.3ders.org/articles/20160401-man-builds-3d-printed-life-sized-robot-that-looks-just-like-scarlett-johansson.html) Designed and created by Ricky Ma, a product and graphic designer based in Hong Kong, the 'Mark 1' human robot is one of the more complex robots out there. Crafted using 3D-printed components, the 'Mark 1' is fashioned after the likeness of a [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whatshouldiwatchai) model, according to Ma. It's clear that the Hollywood actress is likely Scarlett Johansson given the robot's likeness to the starlet. The 'Mark 1' robot is designed with a series of preprogrammed verbal commands and [realistic facial expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-world-labs). Several motions are also capable by the human robot to make it seem as natural and friendly as possible. The 'Mark 1' is compromised of 70% 3D printed components and took about a year and a half to create at a cost of $50,000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Humanoid Robots:** Developing humanoid robots that resemble celebrities offers opportunities for personalized robotics experiences and entertainment applications. - **3D Printing in Robotics:** The use of 3D printing technology in robotics allows for the creation of complex and customizable robot components, opening up new possibilities for design and manufacturing. - **Realistic Robotics:** Advancements in creating realistic facial expressions and natural movements in robots can revolutionize industries such as customer service, healthcare, and entertainment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage humanoid robots inspired by celebrities to enhance fan experiences and create unique interactive performances. - **Consumer Electronics:** The integration of 3D printing in robotics presents opportunities for consumer electronics companies to develop customizable, lifelike robots for personal use. - **Medical and Healthcare:** Realistic humanoid robots with natural movements can be deployed in medical and healthcare settings to assist with patient care, diagnostics, and therapy sessions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consumer-Targeted Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noetix-robotics-bumi.md) - [AI-Powered Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figure-01.md) - [Futuristic Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberone.md) - [Humanoid Household Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1x-neo-beta.md) - [Golden Humanoid Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimus-25.md) - [AI-Powered Customer Service Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-humanoid-robot.md) - [Humanoid-Replicating Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phoenix-robot.md) - [General-Purpose Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figure-03.md) - [Innovative Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics.md)
