A Japanese toy company is offering to make tailor-made robot Mini-Mes for its customers.
Robotics firm Little Island claim they can create a tiny likeness of anyone - even replicating the sound of their voice. Customers place their £1,500 order and simply submit a photo of the person they'd like their new toy to resemble.

Six months later, and their very own Mini-Me will turn up on their doorstep.
The dolls can be taught to sound like the customer via an in-built microphone, a computer and voice recognition software.

The robots, which are created in a technology centre just north of Tokyo, are equipped with 80 gigabytes of storage and a webcam. The advanced version can even download the latest news and weather and then read back the reports - in your voice.

In my opinion, Japaneses were good in inventing funny things.

Because there is a market for such robotic toys world-wide, that is why the Japanese, making use of their ingenuity, to manufacture them. It is not so much of their love for creating 'funny things'. In other words to companies profit is always uppermost in their minds and not because of other reasons.
