Tapir Lab team, which consists of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering students, supervised by Dr. Ali Boyacı, a member of the faculty at the Computer Engineering Department of our university, ranked first in the Advanced Category of the Digital Technologies in Industry Contest at 2022 TEKNOFEST (Technology Festival), receiving 97 points from the Project Evaluation Report, which determines the finalists. Tapir Lab team represented Istanbul Ticaret University with their autonomous freight transport vehicle project in the Advanced Category of the Digital Technologies in Industry Contest at 2022 TEKNOFEST held between August 5th and 7th, 2022 in Trabzon. The Digital Technologies in Industry Contest aims to develop vehicles that will enable the autonomous transportation of materials to the points where they are needed in the production facilities, in the required amounts and when necessary, with a view to optimizing the production processes.
Our “Advena Technology” team, which consists of students from Istanbul Ticaret University, Faculty of Engineering and is supervised by Dr. Alper Özpınar, a member of Faculty of Engineering and the Head of Mechatronics Engineering Department, competed in the Advanced Category of the Digital Technologies in Industry 2022 Contest organized within the scope of 2022 Teknofest (Technology Festival) and won the “Most Original Design” award among forty-two teams. Advena Technology team successfully represented our university and faculty by receiving the first prize at the award ceremony held in Trabzon.
Competitors competed in the Advanced Category were asked to perform challenging tasks, autonomously map industrial areas, act autonomously, and take charge with barcodes. Our team was supported both within the scope of Istanbul Ticaret University Publication Research Project Coordination Board (YAPKO) and by the sponsorships our students received as they successfully stepped into real business life and teamwork.
