Conference Object Pen Holder Design for a Handwriting Education Assistance Robot(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Özdemir, Ekrem; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Özdemir, E.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Balkan, M.A.; Öztürk, Ç.; Dede, M.İ.C.; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe aim of this work is to contribute to quality education by developing a robot system that can assist in handwriting education. The effects of educational robots on learning motivation and performance enhancement have been proven by various studies. In this context, the handwriting assistive robot aims to ease the work of teachers by enabling students to learn how to write more easily and to provide a platform where students can learn on their own. This robot can contribute to the spread of quality education by supporting equal educational opportunities, especially in disadvantaged areas and in cases where the number of teachers is insufficient. The robot supports three different operation modes: Active Mode, Assistive Mode, and Passive Mode. In this study, the pen holder design of this robot is presented. The final design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users, does not require an additional sensor, and the writing ergonomics is increased by keeping the contact point of the pen with the paper at a constant point independent of the holding style. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Towards Sustainable Manufacturing: a Review and Future Directions in Additive Manufacturing of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Tetik, Halil; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Karaş, Büşra; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Karaş, B.; Tetik, H.; Shokrani, A.; Dede, M.İ.C.; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global framework for addressing critical challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and sustainable industrialization. With increasing demand for products and improving quality of life, linear consumption of materials and resources following the “take-make-waste” is no longer possible. As such, innovative solutions are increasingly necessary to enable circular economy in manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology in achieving SDGs by enhancing resource efficiency and minimizing waste. Fiber reinforced composites are a promising application of AM, as they offer the potential to optimize material use, reduce labor and support sustainable production practices. However, there is an urgent need for considering circular economy strategies, life cycle assessment (LCA) frameworks and effective recycling at the end of their lifetime. This study examines additive manufacturing systems for fiber-reinforced composites, their environmental impact and exploring the potential contributions of robotic integration in composite manufacturing to enhanced sustainability. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
