I saw this in some animated show some time ago. Robotic clones of real people, moving around town, getting everyone to believe that the robot is you is so much fun. The next best thing to do is suddenly turn around the corner till your robot and you are facing one another, leaving the onlookers stunned. This is possible, thanks to the Xian Chaoren Sculpture Research Institute in China. The company prepares such identical robots for you if you have the right amount of cash on you.

The robot twins look almost real in the picture. I wonder how well it would help my wife believe that I’m working at home on my desk while I’m actually at the snooker bar. Darned daydreaming!
