Japan Airlines is initiating a trial of humanoid robots for baggage handling and other ground operations at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, starting in May 2026. This experiment aims to address severe labor shortages exacerbated by a surge in tourism. The robots, including models from Unitree and UBTECH, will be tested for tasks like moving cargo containers and potentially cleaning aircraft cabins, with a goal of wider deployment after 2028. While robots will handle physically demanding tasks, critical functions like safety management will remain with human staff. AI
影响 Tests the viability of humanoid robots in complex, real-world airport logistics, potentially paving the way for broader adoption in aviation and other industries facing labor shortages.
排序理由 This is a pilot program for robots in a specific operational context, not a broad product release or paradigm shift.
