* Have been developing the Agribotist sensor data based AI system including computer vision software, AI software, prototype rover robot and implements (software, electronics, electricals, mechanics).Our current proposition comprises:a) Rover robot which has an edge compute device running AI compute apps on ROS besides other components and hitches the implements. Mission parameters and robot's immediate actions can be controlled by the user using the mobile app and the remote control.b) Implements including ones that have high data rate sensors to carry out specific tasks for the customer.c) Mobile app and desktop/tablet interface enabling users to both carry out their tasks in the field and analyze everything related to their operations.* Exciting value-added functionalities have already been implemented and/or are in the process of being implemented.* Several demo implements, including data intensive smart ones.* Have applied for 3 patents which are expected to be granted soon: >TR2022004121A2 - "Agricultural robot system with extendable competences" >TR2022003684A2 - "Weeder implement that can be hitched onto rover robots" >TR2022003636A2 - "Roller-crimper implement that can be hitched onto rover robots"* Seeking investment and in the process of having conversations with manufacturers for prototype pilot production.* Venture capital, angel, etc. investment, qualified pilot production as well as joint venture enquiries welcome.

* Hands-on led efforts for conceptualization, bidding for, participation in and delivery of international R&D projects:Conceptualized and spearheaded SONEC (Smart, Open-platform, Networked Camera) for European Union collaboration projects. Succeeding in making SONEC a central part of ITEA project SPY and first Turkish Artemis project participation project COPCAMS where I acted as the project technical lead. In project SPY, instantaneous detections made on moving platforms (police cars, etc.) as well as fixed camera network are semantically analyzed to create the situational awareness picture and to help system users make informed and enhanced decisions. Partners included Cassidian (EADS DS). In COPCAMS (Cognitive and Perceptive Cameras), we worked on speeding up several algorithms on GPU's and Altera FPGA's using OpenCL besides developing multi-camera processing and decision making frameworks. Work on SONEC has resulted in 4 int'l (PCT) patent applications and 2 trademark certifications besides 2 international conference papers. Also developed, led and submitted the SASP (Smart aerial sensor platforms) project to ECSEL / Horizon 2020 program.* Drove efforts for, did systems design and hands-on delivery management for: > Unmanned robotic systems; drones and ground vehicles. > Smart embedded products and systems.* Worked in the system analysis and design of the Turkish Indigenous Light Utility Helicopter Project.
