AKINCI-5 offers uninterrupted operation in business processes thanks to its replaceable battery architecture.
"100 percent domestic engineering product"
AKINROBOTICS Production Coordinator Emre Çağ told the AA correspondent that they have gained significant momentum with the developing technology in the project they started in 2019 with the "AKINCI P" model.
Stating that AKINCI-5 will be the first mass production model of the series that can walk and display healthy movements, Çağ said, "The motors, reducers, artificial intelligence training, circuit and power cards are produced entirely in-house. This provides us with serious flexibility and production independence. Our robots are controlled not through the cloud, but through on-board computers. It is a 100 percent domestic engineering product." he said.
It is aimed to take part in the workforce
Çağ emphasized that AKINCI-5 was designed with a joint structure with 19 degrees of freedom and continued as follows:
"It is a robot that can walk on two legs. It has 19 joints, is 128 centimeters tall and weighs 42 kilograms. It can operate for 1.5 hours with a half-hour charge. It has a replaceable battery. It is a robot with artificial intelligence. We do its training in-house. Its motors, reducers, artificial intelligence training, circuits and cards, everything is produced in-house. This is a great advantage because it gives us flexibility. Robots are built on our own, not on the cloud." "It can be controlled thanks to the computers on it. It is a completely domestic product. We designed this robot to be used in sectors where people work. We plan to put these robots on sale towards the end of 2027, as long as they are trained in tiring, repetitive, power-requiring or dangerous areas."
Stating that AKINCI-5 can be adapted to any task within its physical boundaries, Çağ added that the robot is specialized in a wide range of fields, from dancing to sports activities.
