Artificial Intelligence and Collaborative Robot to Improve Airport Operations

Since air traffic is increasing, airport operations have to be more efficient and obviously still stay safe. To do so, it is important to find innovative solutions to improve those operations. Two projects are presented in this paper. The first one is an intelligent video surveillance to monitor airport operations. The second one is a collaborative mobile robot to improve maintenance time and traceability of maintenance operations. Those two solutions are the first steps in direction of the airport of the future. Management of the operations, autonomous vehicles, non-destructive testing and human-machine collaborations will evolve and change the airport activities.
