This is cool. I have a related question. Can I make 3d models of my 5yr old kid and 3-d print robots that walk/talk like thme? Does current day technology even suffice for this? Or do I need to create 3d models now and then wait for a few years for technology to catch up?

You could do it, but it would take forever. Here are some starting points for the different technologies involved:

Here's how to make the walking robot: https://asimo.honda.com/ http://users.umiacs.umd.edu/~fer/cmsc828/classes/cse390-05-0...

Here's how to make it look like them: https://www.creativebloq.com/features/deepfake-examples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9qs6JudXJg

Here's how to make it talk like them: https://github.com/CorentinJ/Real-Time-Voice-Cloning

Thnaks. yes, based on the list you posted, it will take forever. Guess I have to wait for someone to put a package together.

The deepfakes can only do a 2-d model, not a 3-d model yet.

Btw, why are people down voting this?
