The Russian company Cognitive Pilot (a joint venture between Sber and Cognitive Technologies) will supply up to 45 unmanned robots with artificial intelligence to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg.
We are talking about a complete, industrial transition of the airport to robotic technology. This is the first project in Russia, and one of the first in the world, to mass use unmanned vehicles to solve airport tasks.
Robot characteristics:
- transporting luggage weighing up to 3 tons from the carousel to the aircraft
- maintaining the cleanliness of the territory (mowing grass, snow removal)
- speed — up to 15 km/h
The developers expect that the robot will help speed up baggage handling by 23%. Unmanned special equipment will be produced at the Cognitive Pilot enterprise in Tomsk.
