Robotics transition for industry underway in Turkey

Robotic systems are one of the most significant elements accelerating the country's economy toward Industry 4.0. Turkey, having a voice in this competition, aims to increase robot use and its density in the region it's involved in. Prominent Switzerland-based robot producer ABB, which is considered one of the cornerstones of the International Federation of Robotics, laid the foundation of a new company in China on Sept. 11., with the slogan "Robots will teach robots to work." As the world advances through robotization, we spoke with ABB Turkey's Robotics and Manufacturing Automation Group Head Emre Tural about Turkey's potential. Tural spoke on industrial robot usage in Turkey, which is a big economy, the secondhand or thirdhand robot market, machine and production industry's meeting industrial robots and how industrial robots turn into collaborative ones.
