A&K Robotics and Aena announce five-pod Madrid airport pilot
A&K Robotics partnered with airport operator Aena to pilot five Cruz autonomous mobility pods at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport.
Evidence notes
- Madrid-Barajas planned to pilot five Cruz pods as part of Aena's passenger-experience and airport-innovation programme.
- The pods were intended to provide safe autonomous transport for passengers with reduced mobility in a complex live terminal.
- The Madrid programme followed A&K's Vancouver rollout and extended the platform into a major European airport network.
Company context
A&K Robotics develops autonomous electric mobility pods for large indoor venues. Its Cruz platform combines multi-sensor navigation, digital wayfinding and fleet-management software for passenger transport in airports and other public facilities.
