As Sabiha Gökçen Sectoral Excellence Center, we held the kick-off meeting of the Technology for Future: Digital Robotics Applications (T4F-DRA) project, conducted in partnership with Germany (BSW) and Italy (Scuola di Robotica), in Dresden/Germany between November 24-28, 2025.

The purpose of the meeting is to:

• Clarify the overall framework of the project with the partners,
• Define roles, tasks, and responsibilities,
• Work on project management, website, training kit, and promotional materials,
• Receive initial training on cobot technologies and V-REP/CoppeliaSim simulation software,
• Strengthen teachers' Industry 5.0 competencies by visiting industry and university stakeholders in Germany

Within the scope of the project, cooperation with the BSW vocational training institution has been strengthened. An interactive training platform infrastructure has been created for the robots and cobots to be developed. In addition, visits were organized to Wandelbots, one of Germany's leading electronics companies, and the University of Applied Sciences Dresden, one of Germany's well-established universities.
