Finally, An Android that Looks Just Like You

You’ve been scouting out the android market (we’re talking about the human-like robot here, not the mobile OS) for a while now, but you never found one whose looks you like?

Those days are over: Japanese department store Sogo & Seibu plans to sell two Actroids that can be modeled after the buyer for a meager price of $225,000. If you aren’t scared off by the price or the fact that having an android that looks just like you is super creepy, read on.

The Actroids (we’re not entirely sure, but it seems they’re only available in the female variety) can’t walk, but they can move their upper bodies and talk. Even better, you can provide your own voice, so the Actroids can look and sound exactly like you.

If you’re concerned about build quality, the actual androids will be created by Kokoro, a company that has a certain experience in android design. Still, $225,000? While it is that time of year when we like to pleasantly surprise ourselves by buying gadgetry we don’t need, being able to trick the neighbors/family into thinking you’re home while you’re actually out partying may not be worth the price.
