/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.
