It's All About Mr. Woo-bot



No, it's not the newest Eureka! episode on the SciFi channel. Rather, Mr. Woo, a farmer from China, with no formal training has been making robots that remarkably mimic human movements. And they are all made from scrap and junk. His efforts haven't been without sacrifice though. One time, he burned his entire house down resulting in his wife almost leaving him. Even with all that, his robot creations are nothing short of remarkable. You don't need training to accomplish great things.

So if you're ever in the Beijing area, see if you can visit Mr. Woo. And maybe, just maybe he'll let you drive his latest creation. Mr. Woo#25
