LOL it wasn't built here neither was it programmed here, the default language shows it is nothing more than Google standard algorithm languages. Plus I am not in anyway anti Igbo, it's your bias mindset that is always pointing you towards that direction. There was this guy that graduated from unizik a couple of years back, he is a great robotic engineer heard he left the country I was to follow his work, great guy. People accused innoson of not building some part of his car parts like engine, from a technological stand point it can be defended, I appreciate there efforts it's a start but when someone point out something you take a critical look at instead of letting your emotional side get the best of you. I want to see alot of tech come from Africa, South Africa is leading currently even their unis so I know what I am talking about.

VEHINTOLAR:


See this mumu ! When it comes to tech,the Yorubas are light years ahead of Igbo or any other tribes in Nigeria;go figure out ! You guys from that side just have to realise that the Yorubas are not interested in any senseless Harry and D.ick measuring competition with some primitive village dwellers from gods forsaken land !

What nonsense Nollywood are you even talking about,kiddo ? Do you even know the history of motion pictures and film making in Nigeria ? Do you even know those who pioneered that industry ? Have you ever heard of the names such as Alade Aromire,Hubert Ogunde,Moses Olaiya,etc ? Kiddo,you need education ! You think Yoruba people,who even established a television station before some European countries like France, is interested in any competition with a tribe whose ancestors were still hobnobbing and sharing caves with some primitive apes in alaigbo as at the time theirs were already making ground breaking achievements ? Yoruba are not called "the pace setters' by those who know for nothing; you've got to register that straight,boy !

One of the many problems with you Igbo is that you get unnecessarily excited over a very little achievement;a typical village dwelling syndrome ! You Igbo must understand that Yoruba are not competing with you;there is no basis for such competition. The records are there,Yoruba are not your mates and that's a fact ! Only if you'll task your brain a little and read up about the history and achievements of the Yoruba people,only then will you find out that Igbo people do not come any close !

It is very certain if Seun Osewa @Nairaland had been an Igbo man,all non Igbo Nairaland members wouldn't have been able to breath freely here ! You Igbo are just too primitive ! Know before hand that I won't respond to any nonsense from you on the subject matter.

The igbofication is not a wise idea.

They could have made it an African representation generally. But igbofication only show naivety.

But what do I even know

Franzinni:
idiot ... My point is why not show functionality rather than cover it in isi agwu.. for an Igbo man, you are pretty dull

Blakjewelry:

LOL I wasn't expecting anything less, I see you idiots running amok here on nairaland everyday. I still stand by my word.

The igbos that fought civil war with their own inventions? Oga you need mental reevaluation. Go and study history. All this gen z with useless privilege of a faceless forum spewing rubbish. Apart from skull mining and yahoo, what have you guys contributed to nigeria?

Omo.... Nigeria will be great and talent like this will be encouraged under his excellency PO...

Omeife: First African Humanoid Robot Built and Completed in Nigeria.

Africa's first humanoid robot, 'Omeife' has been built by a two-year-old Nigerian technology company called Uniccon Group in Abuja, Nigeria.

The 6-feet tall bilingual or can we call it a multi-lingual robot named 'Omeife' is a female Igbo figure/character that provides language as a service for businesses needing to integrate native African audiences. She is also a multipurpose and assistance robot. She speaks African languages and is programmed to have a deep understanding of African culture and behavioural patterns. Took two years to create and actually capable of speaking and understanding eight different languages; it can speak English, French, Arabic, Kiswahili, Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and Afrikaans. Now ready to interact with the outside world.

Omeife also has terrain intelligence, knowing the ground and having stability on the floor, which helps it navigate on non-flat surfaces and maintain good balance. It also has GPS for location and state-management for knowing whether the system is standing, walking, talking and so on as well as Advanced Gestures. It expresses while talking, gives hand illustrations, smiles and makes other bodily gestures.

Boasting a good grip, it has the ability to understand shape and how to hold things with its hand. Conversation wise, it has realtime understanding, can actively listen and focus on a specific conversation thread as it’s happening.

It has the ability to switch languages and interact with specific gestures and possesses native accent, complete with pitch and vocabulary detailed pronunciations of words, sentences and even phrases.

Omeife can also identify and tag humans through face and facial expressions; pay attention to a specific item when required; identify objects and knows their characteristics as well as calculate positions and distance of objects it sees.

The group added that it was built with top social interactive skills as it can pay attention to a specific person to keep conversations alive, is polite, careful and aware of words, phrases, sentences and expressions that are not polite in African cultures; safe for kids and not reactive; knowledgeable in various fields and always teachable as it has a learning pipeline to always improve and understand new things from conversations and has the ability to recall, understand old concepts better with new information.

Speaking on the Omeife project, Chuks Ekwueme, CEO, Uniccon Group of Companies, said, “Africa is fast being recognized for its contribution to the global tech ecosystem. Through Omeife and other projects, we’re happy to play a part in helping businesses and people all over Africa achieve their fullest potential by providing access to the most innovative technologies for efficiency.”

'Omeife' is an Igbo word which translates in English to mean 'doer of things'.

Great feat for Nigeria and Africa ����

Franzinni:
typical naive behavior... If I didn't know, I would be offended but I know for a fact you express yourself from a place of stack ignorance and so I will take the advice which says.

Avoid rolling in the mud with swine, people won't be able to tell the difference after some time.

Noblechykk:

This your espistle, though reasonable, is disconnected from what you said that made me quote you. If you don't see anything wrong in most of the cars we use today being named after the manufacturers, so what exactly was your point?

Blakjewelry:
the guy you mentioned made a point, you can address that without looking at it from the tribalism angle, there are 10s of beautiful Igbo names you can choose from that will sound regular, this sounds kinda if descriptive. This shouldn't be a problem though, but the kind of attack being thrown at the guy who made the comment is annoying.

ThiefnubuBandit:


SHUT UP!!! YOU CHRONIC IGNORAMUS.

MakeSenceAlways:


If "Igbofication" is what caught your attention most, then it tells a lot about your mindset. This mindset is one of the biggest problems in Nigeria. If the humanoid were called Jane or Zuma or any other Nigerian name favorable to you, I'm sure you wouldn't have bothered. We need to unlearn to dislike our closest neighbors.

victorazy:


Let Africa Africanize theirs, this one na igbofication.

Slimwhyt:


You know nothing

Gourdoinc:
dunceeee even if they show you its functionality, you i know wont know jack about it . they have dumbed it down for your ilk and yet you still find ways to show you are uncultured. this is one of those times , social media can be blamed for allowing all and sundry to have a voice. people who should never be heard from are suddenly typing always like you have done. please ensure not to procreate, we dont need more

ogwuche4u:


One afonja is lamenting already. oniranu... They should have called it zeus na... even tookpick you cant manufacture and you are spewing shit from the gutter you called mouth

Xclusivedaniel6:


Must you add tribalism to technology?

crafteck:
First thing i want to ask is can it walk?
Was the ai programmed to adapt to any discussion or it only answers particular questions..


Is this another primary school project being exaggerated or it is technologically advanced..

Blakjewelry:

Please don't mind all these idiots calling you out, there are hundreds of smarter robot being produced in South Africa but you will never see anything like zuluky or South Africana, na only Nigerian infact don't even be surprised it is simply assembled sef.

crafteck:


I was right, the thing is just creepy

Why not advance it for them, or did you stop your education at primary school projects with them?

Not impressed with the simple things neglected, like eye alignment and removing the mucus on its lips.
