About
Tolga Cankurt is a researcher at the forefront of industrial robotics and sustainable manufacturing, with a focus on transforming hazardous, labor-intensive processes through intelligent automation. His primary research areas include human-robot collaboration, augmented reality (AR) for manufacturing, and sustainable ship recycling. Cankurt’s most notable contribution is the development and implementation of a collaborative workspace for industrial robots, integrating a practical path adaptation algorithm with AR technology. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, enables safer and more flexible human-robot interaction on the factory floor, directly addressing the need for adaptable automation in modern industry. In a more recent but critical contribution, Cankurt has turned his attention to the environmental and humanitarian crisis of ship recycling. His 2025 evaluation of cutting technologies for robotic ship recycling proposes a pathway to replace dangerous, manual beach dismantling with automated, sustainable processes, aligning with circular economy principles. By bridging advanced robotics with real-world sustainability challenges, Cankurt’s work demonstrates a clear commitment to engineering solutions that are both technologically innovative and socially responsible, making him a rising voice in the field of sustainable automation.
