Aurrigo International will deploy autonomous Auto-Shuttle vehicles at UK airports to perform tasks such as security patrols, perimeter inspections, runway damage detection, and bird control to improve safety and efficiency. The SENTRY project, supported by the UK Government's CAM Pathfinder grant, involves collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority, Warwick University, and aims to test these vehicles at Teesside International Airport and in North America.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can now expect UK airports to become testing grounds for autonomous vehicles taking on safety and inspection roles. If you build tech that supports real-time airside operations, this opens a path for collaboration or sales as automation spreads beyond terminals.
