How is he the highest paid robotics engineer?

He is!

AdolfHitlerxXx:
If Nigeria was strictly merit based... 95% of the best positions will be dominated by Yorubas.

Deep down, all Nigerians know this fact, just don't want to admit it.

By far the most intelligent and most accomplished.

I am a German from Munich Isale, but don't mind getting tribal marks and changing ethnicity to Yoruba

Shakespeare in 456 BC - USA is in the 21st Century, Nigeria SW is in 20th, North and SS in 19th. SE Nigeria in 11th Century.

You can deceive yourself to any length, that's your matter

No where in the article it is stated he is the highest paid robotic engineer in the world .

Would you have opened the thread and read to the end if not for that headline? 😂😂😂😂😂
Be honest oo.
I read to the end because I wanted to see how much he is earning 👀👀👀

creolehunt:
He is paid more than the engineers at Boston Dynamics, Intrinsic, Zebra Tech and co.

While the guy is doing a lot for himself. Do not place him where he isnt.

That's how you people call Cottage hospitals "world class".

Google is your friend

your claims on yorubas being the most illustrious and intelligent is spurious and without any hard evidence, are the likes of Okonjo iweala, Amina Muhammad, Philip Emeagwali, the hausa guy thats the best designer at Ford's motors and the the worldwide acclaimed smartest family the Imafidons all Yorubas?

Ask Google

Watch and see how they will quickly convert it to Igbo vs Yoruba war.

Very misleading title
World’s Highest Paid Robotics Engineer.
He is not.

Dey play

So how much is he getting paid, that made him WORKD highest paid?


The rubbish writter carefully avoided to mention.

or Lagos bridge world class.

Don't hide under Hausa-Fulanis, y33bow boy. That's why they don't rate you at all. Stand on your own feet.

Yorubas are the nost illustrious and most intelligent. Onus is on the accuser to prove me wrong.

When you mentioned " Emeagwali the academic fraud... I just laughed. You have ZERO point.

Modified: checked your post history. You seem legit. I didn't mean my comment. I just try to target a specific emotional set of people.

Yorubas don't have any superiority complex. My comment was obviously tongue in cheek..I left many hints to that.

Great100000:
Silas Adekunle is the co-founder of Awarri, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) research lab startup. Alongside his partner, Eniola Edun, Adekunle established Awarri to ensure Africans have representation in the rapidly evolving field of AI.

Awarri was born out of the need to democratise access to AI and robotics technology across the continent. The startup uses MekaMon, an innovative gaming robot, as a tool to inspire young tech enthusiasts and spark interest in STEM fields.

MekaMon is a four-legged robot that moves like a real creature, bringing video games to life through robotics and augmented reality. An app developed alongside MekaMon allowed users to control the robot and enjoy an even richer gaming experience.

Last year, Bosun Tijani, Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Communication, and Digital Economy, announced a partnership with Awarri to build Nigeria’s own large language model (LLM).

“Awarri, along with nonprofit Data.org and two government bodies, will build an LLM trained in five low-resource languages and accented English,” the minister stated.

Before founding Awarri, Adekunle and Edun were more prominent in the gaming industry. Edun had launched Gamr Africa, a startup aimed at advancing gaming culture in Lagos, while Adekunle gained international recognition through Reach Robotics. Reach Robotics achieved a major milestone when it signed a deal with Apple for the distribution of MekaMon.

Awarri later acquired the rights to MekaMon, integrating the robot into Nigerian schools to teach children computer science and coding skills. “MekaMon has been a powerful tool in introducing students to technology in a hands-on and engaging way,” Edun noted.

Continuing its mission of fostering AI talent, Awarri launched a data annotation lab in Ikorodu, Lagos, in November 2023. The lab is designed to serve as an AI talent development hub, particularly for the densely populated suburban area.

In the same year, it launched LangEasy, a platform that allows anyone with a smartphone to help train the model through voice and text inputs. LangEasy gives users sentences to read aloud and asks them to save the audio on the app. The app will help crowdsource data for Awarri’s LLM.

Op what's the correlation between the subject and your comprehension here?

Sobalim:

You can cry me blood.

The comment made you cry so much you clicked, wrote a response to it. Wasted data and maybe some minutes of your life. Trying to pretend indifference simply makes you look even more foolish

Flangelo12:
How is he the highest paid robotics engineer?

And with that kind of hairstyle!!!

Nice

Igbos are still ahead of others.

The highest paid Nigerian robotics engineer in the world is Prof. Bart Nnaji.
He was born in Enugu State, Nigeria and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics at St John's University, New York USA.
He then proceeded to the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for his Masters and PhD in Engineering. He also obtained a Post Doctorate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT).

Nnaji joined the faculty of Engineering at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1983. After a few years, he became the Founder and Director of the Automation and Robotics Laboratory at the University. He became a full Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in 1992.
As a researcher, he focused on three major topics: Computer Aided Design, Robotics and Computer Aided Engineering. Using the knowledge he gained from his research pursuits, he adopted the term "geometric reasoning", the idea that most things we operate have a geometric configuration. He is also credited as one of the innovators of the E-design concept, where product design engineers can work from remote locations collaboratively to design, assemble and test the same product, using the computer and internet/World Wide Web.

Nnaji moved to the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1996 as ALCOA Foundation Distinguished Professor of Engineering.
He subsequently was appointed the William Kepler Whiteford Professor of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, where he also served as the Founding Director of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for e-Design – a five University-campus NSF Center of Excellence in e-design. He officially left the University and returned to Nigeria in 2007.

An Igbo guy is still the only Nigerian founder and funder of iPost Nigeria, the social media mobile video app in development that has been rated more advanced than YouTube and Tiktok.

Terrahaptix

Wonderful

You people should note that the green frog symbol is used by extreme racists who hate black people.

Lies upon lies

SpatialKing:
He is not the world highest psid robotic engineer

IPOB can't do simple research due to acute hunger and data poverty

Just want to point out that Phillip Emeagwali is a well exposed fraud.

I hope the Nigerian police will not arrest him when he comes to Nigeria and drives from Island to Ikotun or ojota with his hairstyle.

Highest paid lmao
