Service Robotics

Abstract

After his PhD. he did research in Singapore as an MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) researcher in the Future Urban Mobility (FM) group. His research interests are based on the artificial intelligence for robotics and automotive technology. More specifically autonomous/semi-autonomous ground vehicles, active safety, robot autonomy and energy efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles are the main subjects of his research. Sinan Öncü received his B.Sc. degree in electronics and telecommunications engineering and his M.Sc. degree in mechatronics engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU), in 2005 and 2008, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), in 2014. From 2013 to 2016, he was a research scientist at the Integrated Vehicle Safety Department, Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) Technical Sciences. Since 2019, he has been an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Boğaziçi University where he is also the Director of Smart and Autonomous Mobility Research Lab. His research focuses on cooperative localization, sensing, control, and coordination of automated air and ground vehicles with a particular focus on automotive and mobile robotics applications.
