The contrabulous frabtraptions of Mr. Wu Yulu, self-taught roboticist

From engadget.com:

"Sounds like it’s a little too good to be true (or else it’s going to be immediately optioned for a movie), but Sky News has a story about Wu Yulu, a struggling farmer in rural China who spends his spare time building robots out of stuff he finds at the local junkyard. Among his creations, a monkey-like robot that can climb walls, a humanoid bot that can walk around, change light bulbs, and pour tea, and an eight-legged vehicle you can ride around in."
