Chinese Farmer Builds Robots

Wu Yulu is a 46 year old Chinese farmer who has built over 26 robots in the last 30 years. Armed with only a basic school education and a fascination with automatons, the man has built robots for various purposes such as serving water and lighting cigarettes. His designs have gotten increasingly sophisticated over the years. His personal favorite is a robot named Wu 25 (Wu names all his robots with his surname because he views them as his children) which is a robotic rickshaw operator. The robot can supposedly walk for about 6 hours on a single charge. The hobby is an expensive one and Wu did remark that he would have to sell a few of his robots for financial reasons.
