Hosted by the Urban Robotics Foundation, this online panel discussion will explore the deployment frameworks used by the innovation team at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—the largest airport in the world by passenger traffic. Our guest panelists, Wesley Almeida (CTO, ATL) and Marie-France Lauren (VP Business Development and Growth, ARIBO), will share the exciting progress being made in Atlanta with seven autonomous robotic applications currently being tested and how they developed their repeatable blueprint for expediting airport-wide innovation.
As global airports navigate a monumental operational shift, the deployment of autonomous ground vehicles and public-area mobile robots (PMRs) is moving from experimental pilots to a critical infrastructure strategy. Orchestrating uncrewed systems, automated ground support, and intelligent analytics across complex airside environments requires more than just advanced engineering; it demands a leadership culture shift and a unified framework for collaboration.
Automation is being evaluated across the entire airport…
