Perception
Sensor fusion and visual awareness built to interpret markers, obstacles and the operating environment.
ZeroneTech is a multidisciplinary engineering and design team based at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University (ALKÜ), focused on the development of unmanned maritime systems. Our team integrates artificial intelligence, autonomous control systems, electronics, and mechanical design to deliver innovative solutions.
Our project, the KILIÇ Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicle, achieved 4th place nationwide and received the Best Design Award at TEKNOFEST 2025. Building on this success, ZeroneTech is preparing to represent our country on the international stage at NJORD 2026 – The Autonomous Ship Challenge in Trondheim, Norway.
Our vessel is developed as one connected platform, from physical stability and safety to perception and autonomous control.
Sensor fusion and visual awareness built to interpret markers, obstacles and the operating environment.
Mission logic, path planning and closed-loop control designed for consistent decisions without active steering.
Fail-safe behavior, remote intervention and robust mechanical systems treated as core design inputs.
From workshop decisions to water tests, this is the team behind the vessel.
A multidisciplinary crew bringing marine engineering, software, electronics and design into one reliable platform.
Designed, built and tested by ZeroneTech for the autonomous missions of NJORD 2026.
Kılıç Version 2 delivers higher performance with its optimized hull form and improved stability structure. Thanks to its redesigned internal layout and modular architecture, it is suitable for autonomous missions and field operations.
Kılıç Version 1 is the first-generation model of the platform. With its basic hydrodynamic hull structure and modular design, it is suitable for sensor and electronics integration. With its innovative design, it won the “Best Design” award.
