/USE CASES
Switzerland Airport - Zurich Airport (2025): Aurrigo's Auto-DollyTug drove itself around the apron carrying one full ULD cargo container. Robot arms automatically picked up the ULD from storage dollies and placed it precisely onto high loaders next to waiting aircraft.
360° sensors let it dodge ground crew and equipment while delivering bags to the right plane stand without a driver.
