This is what happens when Nigerians reason your matter. That guy was doing well before o. But all of a sudden Nigerians started hyping him up and calling him highest paid robotics engineer in the world. When there is no real measure for it.

It didn't take long for scrutiny to come. As soon as eyes took interest in him due to the hype and decided to look at the company books they found out something else. And the smart guys decided to shut down quickly before hurting their reputation.

I don't know why you guys will be calling this guy the highest paid engineer and the owner of the company when he is just a co-founder and there are many Japanese and Chinese robotics industries like DJI with lots of products that consumers use.

Iblad0994:


Do you mean he should hand it over to the Igbos with their 2 by 2 Shops?

designking:
Why not sell the business instead?

The biggest losers are his investors. Tech startups fail all the time and this is just one of them.

You hardly find Nigerians living abroad at the average level.
They're either extremely good or bad.
Extremely honest or extremely criminal minded.

Keep soaring... Nigerians are extremely intelligent but highly disadvantaged.


I just hope he weighed his options well before shutting down. And hopefully, he won't invest everything he's got in these new ventures that may not be as far-reaching as the first. Goals are great but they must be planned carefully.





That's not true. There are millions of average performing Nigerians based abroad. What do you call those ones that do waitress jobs abroad even with multiple university degrees? Abeg, check your facts before you conclude.

Some great Nigerians,
He should come and see what to do at home, to salvage the situation on ground.

Because he is black investor are not flocking around him

Engineer Silas Adekunle, who is the highest paid Robotic Engineer in the world and also the founder of AR Robots Makers, has decided to shutdown his business operations in UK.

The Nigerian born Robotic Engineer shut down Reach Robotics, in Bristol, United Kingdom and this shocked his UK based robotics consumers. He said he’s going to focus on new things.

Adekunle made the announcement on LinkedIn. One of the Co-founders John Rees confirmed that “the decision has been made to close the business and appoint administrators, effective as of 02/09/2019,” according to a report by therobotreport.com.

Below is Adekunle’s LinkedIn post:

“Unfortunately, for Reach Robotics, in its current form at least, today marks the end of that journey.

“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved. Since founding Reach Robotics at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, we made huge strides in our technology both in terms of our hardware and app development. We took MekaMon from prototype to market, introduce the world to the first gaming robot with seamless AR integration, launched in dozens of territories and developed a unique education offering that will live on through many initiatives.

“This simply could not have happened without the highly skilled and creative people that have been part of the Reach Robotics journey. I speak for myself and my fellow co-founders Chris Beck and John Rees when I say it has been a privilege and we have no doubt that they will continue to innovate and enrich the sector. Personally, I am grateful for the experience, lessons learnt, the connections and the opportunity to inspire young people from under-represented backgrounds in STEM and entrepreneurship.

“I am thankful to everyone who has been a part of this journey, from my co-founders Chris and John, who have been there through thick and thin, to members of the management team who were supportive in the most difficult of times, Jonathan Quinn, Kathryn Green, Philip Green just to name a few.

“Thank you to all of our investors, advisers, mentors, family and friends over the years. Special thanks to UWE, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, Pervasive Media Studio, SetSquared and so many others who have supported our growth. Reach Robotics began with the vision of creating advanced and accessible robotics to entertain, inspire and educate. I hope to carry that vision forward into the future.

“Following some travel and much needed rest, the journey will continue in the Non consumer Robotics sector and the STEAM Education sector.”

Something is wrong.

Dude, consumer robotics sector is an inherently challenging space. Reach robotics isn't the only one closing shop. Anki, creator of self-driving RC cars and the WALL-E-like robot buddy Cozmo, shut down in April. Jibo a social robot has shut down as well, you also have Mayfield Robotics, maker of Kuri, another social robot also went belly up.
The rule of market capitalism is no matter how impressive a piece of automation technology is, if it doesn't solve a clear problem or increase efficiency in a major way, it's not a very good product.
Take for example industrial robot in the manufacturing and automobile industry. When it was first introduced by GM in the 1950's, it did the job more efficiently than humans could and it was also a lot safer for workers -even in today's world it still provides a good go-to-market model. it solves a pressing problem efficiently and at a palatable price. The social robotics companies that have folded, however, are leaning into feature sets rather than problem-solving. When you look at other robots like washing machine, dish washer this automated a very onerous task.
Another consumer robots that has also recorded success is the irobot it automates an everyday task of vacuuming the floor. I don't need a hardware gaming robots when I have my PS4's or Xbox , I don't need a robot to keep me company or remind me of tasks to do my phone already does that. So unless a consumer robot automates an everyday task which i would rather not do it will be really hard to sustain a market for it.
