Robots as we always know was very synonym with Japan. We know ASIMO, a humanoid robot by Honda and the famous commercial robotic dog, AIBO by Sony as well as others which manufactured by Toyota, Toshiba and all those robotic industrial companies. But here is a interesting story that happened in China where unlike those fully resources robotic corporate, Wu Lu 49 years Old farmer and inventor work in a completely different environment but despite of his situation he make up his fame.
Wu Yulu since his 11 was so obsess with a mechanical movement and had a strong desire to make the machine act like human. Maybe in a different situation perhaps, Wu might become a successful engineer but his unfortunate upbringing forced him to drop school in his earlier age. So he learned to make robots by making mistakes. In the late 70s, Wu got a job at a farm machinery factory, and the small income helped him turn used sewing machine parts and some steel wire into his first robot.
"Until now, I don't know the theory of physics, but I knew that electricity can drive motors and power can be transferred to the robot's hands and legs with levers and wires," Wu said.
