archiemcphee: From Atlas Obscura: Located in a small village outside of Bejing, Wu has been building scrap robots since then, creating ever more complicated creations. A Chinese farmer, Wu was too poor to afford a car. So Wu solved his transportation problem in another way. Wu built himself another, more unusual, means of transportation: he built himself a robot rickshaw driver out of junk. And it worked. Wu has since created over 30 robots, including a climbing robot, a cigarette lighting robot, a musical robot, a tea pouring robot, a message writing robot, and even an updated Rickshaw robot that says “Wu Yulu is my dad. I take him out on the town” when it walks. Click here to see more of his robots
