It can move its arms and legs, turns its head and bow and even display facial expressions like winking, for example.

Ma also programmed the humanoid replica to respond to questions such as “Are you happy?” The robot also says “Hehe thank you” to statements like “I love you” and “you are so cute.”

Every kid has a dream. Ma said when he was a child, he wanted to build his own robot when he grew up because he liked watching animation about robots fighting with each other and playing games about robots.

Ma said he believes the importance of robots will grow and hopes an investor will buy his prototype, giving him the capital to build more.

He also wants to write a book about his experience to help other robot enthusiasts.
