Apple Begins Sale Of Robot Built By Nigerian-born Engineer by adem30: 4:02pm On Nov 23, 2017
Apple stores in the US and UK have begun the sale of MekaMons, a gaming robot built by Silas Adekunle, a Nigerian-Briton.

Adekunle, an engineer, graduated with first class honours from the University of the West of England in Bristol, with a bachelor of science in robotics technology.

He was born in Nigeria but moved to the UK when he was 11 years old.

His company, Reach Robotics, an augmented reality gaming company which creates robots for both fun and STEM education, struck the deal with Apple recently.

MekaMons has been on sale since November 16 for $299.95.

The four-legged robots can be controlled via an iPhone and other smartphone using a companion app for augmented reality gameplay.

“We’ve created an entirely new video gaming platform,” Adekunle said in a statement by Black Enterprise.

“MekaMon straddles both the real and virtual worlds while taking the gaming experience beyond a player’s screen and turning their sitting room into a limitless robotic battle zone.

“MekaMon represents a quantum leap forward in the leveraging of augmented reality. Players can whip out their iPhone to battle their multi-functional, connected battlebots in the physical and virtual worlds at the same time.

“When I was a student at UWE Bristol I spent some time going into schools to help inspire young people and it struck me that there was a huge untapped market for a consumer robot with a difference.

“We used to go in and explain simple robotics to try to inspire the young roboticists and engineers of the future and this experience set me off thinking about designing gaming robots.

“This is an exciting time for our company as now after years of development work we are finally able to bring Mekamon to customers across the UK and US and with plans to go global.

“UWE Bristol has given us an amazing start and we are so grateful for their support.”

Whyyyyyyyyyyy


Lool.
After my usual, due research we found that out bloloda,obiano boy has configured another lie shocked

grin

Ayanna

Although we’ve found a lot of resources claiming to know the etymology of Ayanna, we are unable to find any supporting evidence to back up these claims. One thing we can say for certain, however, is that Ayanna is a multi-cultural name shared among many Asian ethnicities, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and African-Americans. From an African-American perspective Ayanna is thought to come from the Eastern African Somali language meaning “beautiful flower” or “eternal blossom”. In Sanskrit “ayana” is said to mean “goal, direction” or more specifically “a good path” in terms of one’s life journey. The Biblical meaning is possibly “in motion, arrival” (relating to Noah), while others claim it means “divine spirit” in Hebrew. In any case, we were unable to confirm any of these possible etymologies with any degree of confidence. One thing we can confirm, however, is that the name has a positive meaning whatever it may be.



Beeeet whyyyyyyyy
Must you lie shocked shocked
