Wuhu (say it fast and it sounds like "woohoo") in east China's Anhui Province is a city quietly rising as a hub for robotics. Spaniard Alvaro Lago spent a day there and encountered robots at nearly every turn. He interacted with them, took photos with them, and even got stopped in his tracks by one. He was a little nervous at first, but quickly starting having a blast. This isn't sci-fi. This is just a normal day in Wuhu.
