Wu Yulu is one of millions of farmers in China, but he has always yearned for something more, and spent most of his childhood fascinated with the inner workings of machines. Now, despite the fact that he only attended a few years of school, he has become a robot inventor. Over the past four decades, he has created more than sixty homemade robots, what he calls his robot sons, in his garage in a small village near Beijing. For Outlook, Dandan Chen went to visit him in his workshop to find out how Wu was able to make his childhood dream come true... Image: Wu and his rickshaw robot Credit: Dandan Chen
