British man invested £20,000 in building a robot inspired by movies

According to the British "Metropolitan Daily" report on August 17, a British movie fan recently spent six years successfully building a fully functional robot based on the plot of the movie

The man’s name is Ryan Howard. He is 34 years old and a father of two children. He is currently studying engineering on his own. He spent more than 20,000 pounds to build a robot named Johnny 5. The prototype comes from the 1986 movie "Thunderbolt 5". In the movie, an experimental robot was struck by lightning, gained human-like intelligence, and began to explore the world, which inspired Ryan to create. The robot built by Ryan weighs about 196 kilograms and is 1.8 meters tall. He believes that the robot is very similar to the prototype and said that it is one of only two fully functional Johnny 5 robots in the world. The replica, made mostly of aluminum, can be programmed to talk, sing and dance, and Ryan even took it to the bar

Ryan said: "I've never attempted anything like this before and I'm very proud because it was a very challenging task. When people see Johnny 5, it evokes their childhood The memory makes them feel very excited.” (According to China Youth Network)
