Mr. Woo, the Chinese Robot Farmer

By Jason Chen on August 9, 2007 at 7:20 AM


How can a man with no formal robotic education create funny and awesome robots out of electronic parts he finds in the junk heap? Mr. Woo found a way, and created so many robots his wife has threatened to leave him (partially because he burned the house down in doing so). Among the more impressive ones are an actual working rickshaw robot that takes him and the wife to town (no idea how it’s powered), along with a junior rickshaw robot that takes the kid to town as well.

    Give this man a grant and get him working on more advanced robotics, I’m sure he could help the field take a giant leap forward.
