Movus
Movus is an autonomous electric vehicle designed to move cargo and baggage within the airport apron area. Movus travels between the baggage handling system and the aircraft without human labour, using two lidar sensors and two stereo cameras to measure distance and avoid obstacles. A three-level compartment with adjustable doors on both sides holds a modular stainless steel conveyor system. The body is built from a metal chassis and thermoformed plastic parts. The design aims to reduce the damage and loss of luggage caused by manual handling.
Movus Autonomous Airport Vehicle by Ahmet Burak Veyisoglu was highlighted as an exceptional illustration of service design by the A' Design Awards. Movus Autonomous Airport Vehicle received the Silver A' Design Award in Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design in 2022. The A' Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition that rewards excellent design of industrial robots, medical robots, agricultural robots, domestic robots, autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, telepresence robots, underwater robots and more.
