Silas Adekunle is a Nigerian-British robotics engineer and entrepreneur, best known for co-founding Reach Robotics, a company that developed MekaMon, a gaming robot that blends augmented reality (AR) with robotics. He gained widespread attention as one of the youngest engineers to secure a major deal with Apple, which stocked MekaMon in its stores.
Adekunle studied robotics at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and became known for his innovative approach to robotics and education. His work focused on merging robotics with gaming to create interactive experiences.
In 2019, Reach Robotics shut down due to market challenges, but Adekunle has since continued to work in robotics, education, and technology entrepreneurship. He has been recognized for inspiring young engineers, especially in Africa and the UK.
