Who we are
Aware Robotics Engineering Inc. is a technology company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Istanbul, Türkiye. We focus on field-proven autonomous robotic systems that address concrete operational challenges in agriculture, defense & security, and industrial production.
We prioritise solutions that work under real-world constraints such as terrain, weather, limited connectivity, and safety requirements, rather than laboratory-only prototypes.
Mission and vision
Our mission
Our mission is to reshape industries with autonomous, data-driven robotic systems tailored to real-world needs.
Our vision
Our vision is to become a global pioneer in field robotics, making operations more efficient, sustainable, and accessible.
We pursue this mission and vision by combining robust mechanical design, advanced perception and AI, embedded electronics, and systematic field testing. Each solution is developed together with domain experts and end users so that it fits actual operational workflows.
The challenges we focus on
Agriculture
Farmers face growing pressure from labour shortages, rising input costs, and the need to produce more with fewer resources. Conventional tractor-based methods can cause soil compaction, fuel waste, and limited precision in applying fertilisers and chemicals.
Defense & Security
Personnel are often deployed into hazardous and unpredictable environments. Many existing robotic systems require constant manual control and can struggle in complex terrain, particularly where GPS signals are unreliable.
Industry
Manufacturers must respond to higher precision demands and shorter lead times, while maintaining existing production lines. Introducing automation is difficult when systems are not designed to integrate smoothly with legacy equipment and processes.
Across these domains, there is a common requirement: autonomous systems that are reliable, adaptable, and compatible with existing infrastructure.
What we build
Aware Robotics develops robotic platforms and subsystems that combine:
Autonomous navigation for both structured and unstructured environments
Multi-sensor perception (cameras, LiDAR, GNSS/RTK, IMU, and other sensors)
Embedded control units and safety-oriented system design
AI-based analytics and decision-support tools
Integration with user-specific software, data pipelines, and reporting tools
Our portfolio currently centres on
