I dreamt for years, I planned for years. The day I set up AKINSOFT, I had my individual dreams about the plans that caused the glare in my eyes and today I am still in pursuit of these dreams, in the light of advanced technology. Artificial intelligence studies, officialized by getting official title of PhD between the dates of 2010-2013, in Selcuk University Institute of Science, Robotics Technology. Before this, I had been specialized in Robotic, Algorithm and Automation fields by starting R&D studies of robots that have intelligent artificial. I arrayed 28 years term visions that I determined on the day I established AKINSOFT, as five year terms. 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 visions had been realised successfully.
Official openning of AKINROBOTICS that is first humanoid robot factory in our country and the world is coming soon, in Konya the city that was mentioned as agricultural geography before, but turned into a technologycal lands with all AKINSOFT lovers, our workers and Solution Partners in 26 December, 2015.
I would like to tell you about the progress that we made about robotic technologies.
We started our robotic adventure with ASPNCR-1 and ASPNCR-2 agricultural robots that we develop to raise productivity in beet production. Plantation of beet is an operation that is based on special conditions and needs to be attentived like in other plants. As considering all these points, we raised productivity of sugar beet in %95-96 with success of R&D activities of agricultural robots.
Then we introduced AKINCI-1, our baby robot which is first humanoid robot we started to develop in 2009 has artificial intelligence. AKINCI-1 could response clearly the questions like ‘hello, how are you, who are you, what is your name, what day is it, where are you’ as ‘I’m good, thank you what about you, I’m a humanoid robot, my name is AKINCI-1 and surprised everyone. AKINCI-1 also won recognition by mimicing human muscle system and movements individually with applying commands such as crouch, stop, look at the door, look at the window, open your arms, dance, go.
In 2013, we created Turkey’s first Humanoid Mobil Robot AKINCI-2 and introduced it to the public. In the 18th year we established, as AKINSOFT that established in 1995, developing with its visions and creates artificial intelligence in robotic technologies and studies about humanoid robots for human benefit presented AKINCI-2 to the public. It was one of the most beautiful times in my life. We signed very nice projects with AKINCI-2.
We continued humanoid robot studies after AKINCI-2. We introduced AKINOID-3, the 3rd prototype of AKINCI serial that is closer to humanoid structure and has the ability to learn via artificial intelligence, gesture and facial expression. AKINOID-3 is specially designed to have a structure that expresses many emotions with its human mouth, cheek and eyebrow movements.
Then Cadde Meram
People and robots to live together was a situation that I planned for a long time. We preoccupied with my team for a long time to find the appropriate sector and design the robot that will serve for this aim. Turkey’s first robot waitress ADA that produced in March 26, 2015 started to serve in Cadde Meram Cafe and Robotic Application Center.
