Purpose of Program

Autonomous systems are technologies that can operate without human intervention or with minimal intervention, self-regulating and self-optimizing. They are widely used in many fields today, including defense, automotive, healthcare, agriculture, and logistics. This section aims to train technical experts in the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of autonomous systems. By offering theoretical and practical education in fields such as sensor technologies, artificial intelligence, data processing, and control systems, it will contribute to the sector by providing qualified workforce. With its establishment, it will contribute to domestic and national technologies, and graduates will be offered extensive employment opportunities through collaboration with the industry.
