Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is testing self-driving robotic pods developed in collaboration with Vancouver-based A&K Robotics to assist passengers with mobility and guidance needs. The Cruz mobility pods use intelligent navigation to help individuals access all airport areas. Supported by Innovate BC’s Integrated Marketplace, the project aims to enhance accessibility and inclusivity.
The pods will be implemented in phases, with passenger feedback guiding improvements. “This collaboration reshapes industries and impacts future transportation,” said Mathew Anderson, CEO of A&K Robotics. This initiative marks a significant step towards better accessibility at YVR, benefiting travelers with mobility challenges.
