Tekin Mericli
AI and Robotics Expert
About me
I'm a seasoned founder, serial entrepreneur, and executive in the deep tech space. My technical expertise mainly lies in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent mobile robotics with dozens of real world application projects under my belt, some of which turned into very successful products. I'm also a published author with over 40 publications in those areas, including several best paper award winners. However, I consider myself a polymath and a problem solver. I’m currently a co-founder and the CTO of Atlas Robotics, revolutionizing the material handling industry. Previously, as the former CTO and co-founder of Locomation, I was at the forefront of automated driving technologies for the ground transportation industry, spearheading the development of safe and reliable autonomous trucks. Prior to launching Locomation, I honed my skills as a Senior Robotics Engineer and Special Faculty/Commercialization Specialist at the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) of the Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), contributing to many high profile projects including the development and deployment of an autonomous Sikorsky helicopter, an autonomous Caterpillar mining truck, an on-road autonomous Prius, a high-speed off-road autonomous military vehicle, an autonomous mapping and driver assist system for snowplow trucks, and the semi-autonomous search and rescue robot CHIMP that won the third place in the DARPA Robotics Challenge. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Boğaziçi University, an MS degree in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin, and a BS degree in Computer Engineering from Marmara University in Turkey. I also completed postdocs at RI and HCII at CMU, leading the development of intuitive and expressive interfaces for autonomous robotic systems designed to assist the elderly and disabled. My passion for innovation extends beyond the boardroom, as I've been at the forefront of groundbreaking research, development, and leadership within various teams and research groups, including Cerberus and UT Austin Villa RoboCup teams, Team Cappadocia, the fourth place winner in the Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge (MAGIC) 2010 competition, and the UT Austin DARPA Urban Challenge team, leaving indelible marks on the autonomous mobile robot and self-driving vehicle revolutions.
