Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is testing a new autonomous system designed to automate one of the most physically demanding and time-critical ground-handling tasks: connecting aircraft to ground power units (GPUs).
The technology, known as ARC (Autonomous Robot for GPU Connection), has been developed in collaboration with KLM and Neura Robotics and was recently demonstrated live at the airport.
The project aims to address growing operational pressures at airports, where staff shortages and physically intensive work have made GPU connection a persistent bottleneck. [Read more…] about Amsterdam Airport Schiphol partners with Neura Robotics to test new autonomous ground-operations robot
