About

I'm an Electrical & Electronics Engineer specialising in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and algorithm development. I have advanced experience in C++ and Python, and have built a range of projects on the ROS 2 framework and robotic systems.

I have worked extensively on sensor fusion, camera-based image processing and artificial intelligence applications. Over three years at Mepsan Petrol Cihazları I solved precise docking, load handling and multi-vehicle traffic management problems for autonomous vehicles.

Today I work on an autonomous agricultural robot at Dost Tarım Teknolojileri: navigation and sensor fusion under hybrid field conditions. My goal is to build innovative solutions that help my country take a leading position in AI and robotics.

    On an autonomous agricultural robot project I develop ROS 2 based navigation and sensor fusion so the vehicle moves reliably under hybrid field conditions. Fusing 2D LiDAR, IMU and encoder data, I achieved stable localization across indoor–outdoor transitions, and structured task mode switching with a Nav2 Behavior Tree. Operational processes became 80% autonomous.

    To improve the precision and efficiency of autonomous vehicle operations I designed advanced algorithms on ROS and image processing: precise approach using ArUco and tf, and collision-free load gripping through LiDAR point cloud clustering (90% accuracy). An MQTT-based traffic management system let multiple vehicles work simultaneously in tight spaces. I also built localization with AMCL and SLAM, and 3D mapping with PCL.

    I thoroughly learned the core structures of ROS — message types, actions and tf frames. I also worked hands-on with AMCL and SLAM, algorithms critical to robotic navigation and mapping.

    I designed and assembled the electrical panel for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), wiring the I/O card, IR sensors, buttons and motors, and establishing I/O card to host computer communication over RS485. I integrated two LiDAR sensors and a motor driver over RS232.

DDS: ROS2’nin Arkasındaki Güç

ROS1’den ROS2’ye geçişin en büyük nedenlerinden biri, iletişim altyapısının daha esnek ve güvenilir hale getirilmesi ydi. Bu noktada devreye DDS (Data Distribution Service) giriyor. ROS 2'de DDS (Data Distribution…
