…foresee operating with other APLs and communicating with higher infrastructure for mission planning and inventory control systems,” said Gordon. “With autonomous aircraft, there are two ways our system could be used. We could drive off and go to a location, or we could mirror up to an aircraft, where there's another APL, and move crossdeck.” “And it's not just from an aircraft—the APL could move pallets from a truck or from one warehouse location to another,” he said. Stratom has designed autonomous systems for transporting heavy loads across varied terrain. Source: Stratom SBIR and other applications The Small Business Innovation…

…“The initial application for this to test out the infrastructure was palletizing,” Hummel said. “Boxes were actually the first things onboarded. Then we tried other simple shapes, like cans, other types of boxes, but it’s all really customer driven.” As Rapid added customers, it also added to its internal object database of objects and shapes. Hummel noted that one of the beauties of the system is that Rapid Robotics doesn’t need a massive object database before RapidID goes to market. Onboarding objects - in the grand scheme of all this very extensive and ever-evolving technology - is actually the “easy”…

…is also different from a city where even the infrastructure has its own variations.” Ottonomy made its first deployment in the airport space in late 2021 at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Source: Ottonomy With business to consumer (B2C) deliveries, customers waiting at departure gates can order items from vendors within terminals, and those items are delivered directly to them. Vijay said B2C deliveries open up the reach of retailers and restaurants who are geographically far from certain gates by providing an additional distribution channel, allowing them to reach customers who don’t want to walk across terminals to shop and…

…automation that is simple to deploy, doesn’t require extensive infrastructure, and brings immediate value to operations. Big Joe developed its autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with Thoro.ai and is continuing to add features. The Pallet Mover provides floor-to-floor pallet transportation and drop-off, which the company claimed can be set up and running in less than an hour, it said. The Big Joe Pallet Mover can travel to a destination and deliver pallets to preset locations. When the zone-drop feature is used, the AMR will take a load to a predefined area in a facility with multiple delivery locations. It can place…
