Airports are increasingly focusing on enhancing passenger experience to meet rising traveler expectations. Passengers now seek greater convenience, efficiency, and personalized services throughout their airport journey. Robots are being integrated to manage various tasks including check-ins, baggage handling, and security assistance, helping to reduce waiting times and streamline processes. For instance, Changi airport group (CAG) and Aurrigo international plc have partnered to introduce a fleet of four autonomous baggage handling vehicles at Changi airport.
 

The phase 2A trial of the auto-dolly tug demonstrated its ability to operate under various conditions, including wet weather, heat, humidity, and alignment with airport equipment. The trial successfully tested its automated baggage container transfer and close-quarter operations near aircraft. The growing demand for seamless and frictionless experiences is driving airport robots market growth. Moreover, robots can provide continuous service, offering real-time information, directions, and language translation, making them valuable for improving overall satisfaction and operational efficiency.

The ongoing advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning is significantly transforming airport operations. AI-powered robots can analyze data in real-time, adapt to changing situations, and optimize processes such as luggage handling, crowd management, and security screening. For instance, Dublin airport is trialing four autonomous AI robots to assist passengers with non-visible disabilities. The robots, named handler bing, bilbot baggins, Sir Bot A Lot, and K2DC, transport luggage from Terminal 1 security to gates in Pier 1. The service, tested in April and May, will expand this month.
 

In collaboration with over 20 disability organizations, the initiative aims to offer an autonomous, comfortable, and dignified travel experience, with passengers calling robots via touchscreen and traveling at a comfortable pace. Through advanced learning algorithms, these robots can enhance their performance over time by identifying patterns and making informed decisions. Automation reduces human error and improves the overall operational efficiency of airports.
