Hey, I'm Anas 👋
I'm building robots
that save lives.
I'm a robotics and AI engineer, and I want my work to matter — machines that go where people can't, find survivors, and bring them home. That's the mark I'm trying to leave: technology that saves lives.
Experience
Where the
work happens.
TÜBİTAK-funded research at Fırat University's RAI Laboratory — SLAM pipelines, deep RL navigation, and embedded AI, taken from simulation to real hardware.
Our GPS-denied mapping rig — LiDAR, IMU & Jetson
TÜBİTAK 1001 · RAI Lab
Jun – Oct 2025Robotics & AI Lab Intern
Integrated Go2 quadruped, Velodyne LiDAR, RGB-D camera, and Pixhawk onto Jetson AGX Orin — SLAM and sensor-fusion pipelines for disaster-response scenarios. Followed a 2024 summer internship at the same lab.
TÜBİTAK 2209-A · Project Lead
OngoingAutonomous Navigation System
Deep reinforcement learning (SAC/PPO) + SLAM on TurtleBot3 and Jetson AGX Orin — real-time adaptive navigation in dynamic environments.
Drift-Resilient Indoor 3D Mapping in GPS-Denied Environments Using RKO-LIO with Velodyne–Pixhawk Integration in ROS 2
Alqadhi, A. M. N. S., Bajhaw, M. A. M. S., El Muhammed, M., & Ucar, A. (2026).
RKO-LIO fuses Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR with a Pixhawk IMU on Jetson AGX Orin for drift-resilient indoor 3D mapping in GPS-denied environments — SLAM research with direct applicability to disaster response and defense robotics.
PV-STAM: Velocity-Aware Attention for Mapless Deep Reinforcement Learning Navigation in Dynamic Environments — currently under peer review
ROS2–YOLO–LiDAR Sensor Fusion
YOLO object detection fused with LiDAR depth projection — a distance-aware, multi-sensor perception pipeline built on ROS2.
3D ReMaker — Multifunctional Machine
Converted a broken 3D printer into a 3D printing + laser engraving + paper drawing system. 3rd place nationally.
Projects
Built from first principles.
Multi-sensor perception, deep RL navigation, and a national award-winning hardware rebuild — taken from simulation to real machines.

Let's build something
worth building.
Recruiter, researcher, or just curious about the robots — I read every email. Heading to Lisbon this September.
