Mr. Woo, the Chinese Robot Farmer



Mr. Woo is a man who lives with his wife and kids an hour outside of Beijing in rural China. Having no formal education or training, Mr. Woo creates amazing homemade robots out of rubbish he finds from scrap heaps.



There is some danger involved, especially when he managed to burn his entire house down while creating one of his robots. He has since built a new home, but his wife isn't too happy with his choice of hobbies.

Burning down houses aside, Mr. Woo has built quite extraordinary robots. He has even built a robot rickshaw which brings him and his wife to the market. Now how can his wife stay mad at him after building a robot rickshaw.

Woo, who has built 26 robots over the past 30 years, considers each of them his sons. "They are all my sons, so they must bear my surname," he said.
