Robots Are at BAUFENS for the 3rd Time

Following the first two workshops successfully held in 2014 and 2015, the 3rd BAU Robotics Workshop, themed "New Trends in Robotics," was held on 3 June 2016 at the Fazıl Say Hall of Beşiktaş Campus.

The aim of this workshop is for researchers to discuss new developments, technologies and trends in robotics, exchange ideas, form new collaborations and introduce robotics to students. Delivering the opening speech, our Dean Prof. Dr. Taşkın Koçak stated that the BAU Robotics Laboratory, established in collaboration with Stanford University, is open to other universities in Türkiye and that they would welcome potential collaborations.

Researchers and faculty members from California State University, Long Beach, Boğaziçi University, İzmir Institute of Technology, Özyeğin University, Eskişehir Osmangazi University and Bahçeşehir University took part in the half-day workshop. The innovative robot applications raised by the speakers included deformable soft robots, factories of the future and Industry 4.0 approaches, new surgical robots, robotics and rehabilitation applications of human motion models, and robot learning inspired by babies.
