Дата: 02-10-19 11:31NEW ROBOT ON DUTY AT FRANKFURT AIRPORTPassengers at Frankfurt Airport were recently introduced to a member of staff with a difference – YAPE the robot! In a recent trial, self-driving guide robot YAPE moved through Frankfurt Airport, accompanying passengers to their gates and helping them to transport their small luggage. YAPE is an AI-based transport and delivery robot developed by Yape Srl (the acronym stands for 'Your Autonomous Pony Express), a company of Italian hi-tech manufacturer e-Novia. Vincenzo Russi, CEO of e-Novia, said: “YAPE can be deployed in the most diverse environments. After the trials with Japan Post and a major large-scale distributor in the US, YAPE now demonstrates its full potiential by operating at a major aviation hub. During the trials in Pier A of FRA’s Terminal 1, the project co-ordinators closely monitored YAPE. In this initial phase, a smartphone app was used to interact with the robot. YAPE can carry up to 30 kilos at a speed of about six kilometres per hour indoors. Джерело інформації: Airport World |
