AKIN Robotics
AKIN Robotics, also written AKINROBOTICS, is a Turkish humanoid robot developer based in Konya and part of the AKINSOFT software group led by chairman Özgür Akın. It began building humanoid robots in 2009 and runs its own humanoid robot factory in Konya, opened in 2017, which the company describes as the first of its kind in the world. Its best-known robots are the AKINCI humanoid series and the Ada service robot, which carries about five kilograms and has served customers in cafés. The newest model, AKINCI-5, is an industrial humanoid about 129 cm tall and 42 kg, with 19 degrees of freedom and AI-assisted walking and balance, intended for manufacturing, logistics and mining. AKINCI-5 is still in testing and demonstration: general sales have not opened, and its listed price of around US$95,000 is an enquiry figure rather than a confirmed offer. The company also develops unmanned ground vehicles for agriculture.
💡Notable Achievement: AKIN Robotics established Turkey's first mass-production factory for humanoid robots in Konya in 2017, commercially deploying hundreds of multilingual service humanoids across airports, municipal centers, and universities.
