Exclusive Video: Get To Know Leo. He Can Handle Your Baggage
While at the SITA Air Transport IT Summit 2016 conference in Barcelona, I got a chance to meet Leo, a specialised robot designed to help passengers check their luggage baggage faster at the curb before they enter the airport terminal.
The fully autonomous robot can check-in, print bag tags and carry up to two 32kg suitcases. It follows a programmable tracks and has laser guided obstacle avoidance system to navigate high traffic areas.
Leo was named after the Italian Renaissance inventor and engineer Leonardo da Vinci–creator of the world’s first robot.
