A fantastic visit to the National Robotarium at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh!
We had the opportunity to explore cutting-edge research in robotics and AI, and to discuss exciting opportunities for collaboration in construction and structural engineering. +++

[Orhan Yapıcı, Ph.D. @orhanYPC]

From automation to intelligent inspection and monitoring, the possibilities for innovation in our field are incredibly promising.

Many thanks to the Robotarium team for their warm hospitality and inspiring insights. Looking forward to future partnerships that bridge engineering+

I want to thank to Alan and Sunbelt team for their collaboration and for this exciting presentation.

[Orhan Yapıcı, Ph.D. @orhanYPC]

We hosted Alan Penrose from Sunbelt at Heriot-Watt University in line with the Surveying and Monitoring course to give a presentation on "Introduction to Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Autonomous Surveying" which provided a captivating exploration of two ground breaking ++

[Orhan Yapıcı, Ph.D. @orhanYPC]

Attendees learned how the integration of precise laser scanning with automated data collection amplifies efficiency and accuracy. This integration broadens the scope of applications, enabling comprehensive mapping and monitoring of large areas and complex terrains.
