Hi I would like to create a life like android/robot to send to work in my place.

Requirements

1) People should not be able to tell the difference between me and the android. My first attempt may not be perfect but I can tell people that its my twin that was dropped on its head while we were growing up.

2) Should have the same weight as me so it won't crush small children if it falls over. By small children I mean those above 7 years old. Those below 7 can easily be crushed by a normal human adult so it is not important to consider that special case.

3) Should run on linux. I have a tight budget and cannot afford to pay for any propreitary operating system. Will consider writing my own operating system if this is the best way to go.

I am reading "The design of the unix operating system" by Maurice J. Bach currently. That should be useful. I also have an old copy of the dragon book. What other books should I read?

I would like to finish this by monday if possible. I don't like working on mondays.

I have made a start and have picked some clothes and shoes for my android worker.

Any help will be appreciated. This is a serious question. AJ
