According to its developers, in addition to knowing its position and its environment in real-time, BAGXone:
- Autonomously loads and unloads from baggage handling systems
- Achieves speeds of up to 7 m/s for long distance connection
- Dynamically unloads to chutes
- Horizontally and dynamically transfers from above
The BAGXone was recently introduced at the Passenger Terminal Expo.
