About me
Hi, I’m Murat Merdin, mechanical engineer and founder & CEO of DRONEQUBE – after previously building MET Robotics, where I delivered 40+ industrial robotics projects worldwide and built a portfolio of 13+ patents in robotics and AI. At DRONEQUBE we develop an AI-powered autonomous drone and robotics platform for precision agriculture; our technology is at TRL 7 with working prototypes already demonstrated in operational vineyards. We’re an R&D-driven team with a factory inside Izmir Institute of Technology, currently running four high-tech projects, including an international Eureka XECS consortium under MAINVERSE, plus new submissions such as Florascan-X and an upcoming Eurostars proposal extending our AI crop-health analytics beyond vineyards. Backed by a $360k Eureka XECS grant alongside TÜBİTAK and World Bank–supported programs, DRONEQUBE is scaling from deep-tech R&D to a European platform that turns climate and labor challenges in agriculture into a global innovation opportunity.
