Chinesebotfarmer

National Geographic interviews Wu Yulu, a chinese farmer obsessed with building walking machines. Wu was ridiculed for a long time because of his mechanical creativity, but recently has gained recognition for his self-taught skills after being named China’s most innovative farmer. Over the years he’s managed to construct some pretty awesome automatons from salvaged materials. Check out the video to see his bots in action – Rickshaw robot made by farmer [Thanks, Will!]
