Will you and ur types for once appreciate something that's indigenously yours?
How long shall we continue to look up to the west for everything, when shall we begin to solve our problems ourselves? Did Japan, China, Korea et al get to where they are in a day?
When you see people like this, encourage them... Don't say those discouraging words.. Get rid of the slavery mentality. Africa should brace up to become independent technologically

delzbaba:
Good, but all this things are already old in japan and US

ireneony:
what little children build everday in korea, japan, America e.t.c
Old papa like him is claiming to build small robots

Oga we need new inventions and ideas not copy cat

Nice innovation from him, if only he was in the western world, this will be acceptable. But wetin 9ja won use robot do? It will probably end up in the trash, but i pray it doesn't.

YourNemesis:


So because it is old in Japan and the US, we shouldn't start our own abi?

Stupedinluv:

What is the usefulness of this poo to Nigeria?
Is this a solution to something? Cos i am lost here *rolls eyes* sigh!

Stupedinluv:
What's its usefulness to Nigeria and Africa
You cant even export this, cos counties will prefer to pratonise advanced states.

HDee:




Is it only arduino you're going to make use of?
To design projects?

Stupedinluv:

And how to brace up is to copy others?

Quit displaying your ignorance. "This" isn't a solution to anything, but that's not the point. Solutions come from a mindset and certain skill sets, which are on display here.

mpowa:


That's exactly how to start, you copy, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. That's how Japan and China caught up with America, COPY and ENNOVATE to produce something new.

Original designs are not common anymore, they're most ly coping and ennovations, even if you want to make original inventions, you start from coping 1st to catch up faster.

mpowa:


You begin every invention by producing locally first, create almost the same product and use local materials to make it cheaper, by that he creates cheaper alternatives that will do almost the same thing, when he get more successful then he can then begin to think of exporting. But he'll never get to that point if he doesn't start. LET'S ENCOURAGE OUR OWN!

Stupedinluv:


What do we need robots for?

I like that you didn't flare up when I used the word ignorance earlier. The above says volumes about what you do NOT know about this subject. I would respectfully suggest that you stop posting on this subject. If you wish to continue posting, at least brush up a bit.

Cheers.

Stupedinluv:


But we have not left the "COPY" stage. We just wait for others to think and create or recreate and gbam we use or copy.

mpowa:


The future is basically computers and robots. If you're not in the digital world and you can't make use of computerized machines in the next ten years, you'll more or less be an illetrate.

The fools are concerned about the past
The average man about the present
The wise/great man about the future
This is the guy for the future in Africa, and it's a great consolation because atleast with more ppl like him Nigeria/Africa will not be left behind.

xtophy:
PICs re nt more dan 1k, how much are resistors, capacitors and other discrete components guy, cost is an avoidable excuse for eee students

mpowa:


Let him copy 1st, I've not seen robotic productions by any Nigerian, anyone that can copy let them copy, at least it'll reduce importation, then when they perfect their acts we can start talking about exportation and reduce drastically our over dependence on oil.

tartar9:
Something american kids do for hobby

Stupedinluv:
You should have replied my post. You know i am right! We are just mere copy cats, no wonder we are "useless" to the global world. Cheers

Stupedinluv:


Yes and how not be left behind is to copy what others have made.
Maybe we are just inferior

Have a nice day

Don't be so negative, lady. I wanted to avoid going into long stories. It turns out that I knew a little about this young man's work while he was a student in OAU. The remote laboratories he developed might not have set the world on fire, but they were original. As in nothing-like-it-anywhere-in-the-world original. That was no copy-copy.

As to his robotics work: EVERYBODY everywhere in the world does some copy-copy, because that's largely what the scientific method is all about. Replicate previous results (or at least, get familiar with them), and extend. He "copied" only as much as the scientific method entails. What he did with the "copied" work was original. As in nothing-like-it-anywhere-in-the-world original.

To respond to your assertion: Nigerians are not just mere copycats; we are not useless to the world. We may not have enough enlightened folks to make a dent, but we do have them. Here's hoping their ranks swell enough to make a difference in the years ahead.
