Two Vancouver technology companies -- Delta-Q Technologies and A&K Robotics – are teaming up to provide self-driving pods at airports.
Delta-Q makes electric battery charging stations and A&K Robotics developed self-driving vehicles for shutting passengers around airports.
A&K is set to deploy its pods in airports in North America and Europe this year. In a partnership agreement between the two companies, Delta-Q will provide the electric self-driving pods with charging infrastructure.
“We are proud to partner with A&K Robotics to continue making electrification and automation solutions more accessible to communities and markets around the world,” said Delta-Q CEO Sarah MacKinnon. “We are thrilled to be a part of shaping global, meaningful innovation with a fellow BC company.”
“We see great potential in the future of autonomous equipment and the micro-mobility market, and we know B.C. is a hub for innovation in this sector,” said A&K Robotics CEO Matthew Anderson.
“Our work advances critical environmental initiatives and improves experiences for individuals with reduced mobility. The autonomous space is growing, and together we’re poised to drive economic and sustainability improvements for the region and communities worldwide.”
