Aurrigo powers autonomous vehicles in Cambridge with Distributed Edge Computing. Aurrigo Driverless Technology 2021-06-17 | Driver behaviour is a major contribution to accidents on our roads, and technology is being used in many ways to reduce this. We already rely on the connected car to assist with many aspects of our driving, and the next step towards safer and less congested roads is just around the corner: fully autonomous vehicles. From public transport to private cars, big steps forward in connectivity means developments in driverless transport are moving fast.Autonomous vehicles are changing the way people and cargo are transported. And Aurrigo is at the forefront of the design and manufacture of a range of driverless vehicles – from autonomous airport baggage dollies to shuttles and driverless pods – designed to meet a rising demand from across the world.
Aurrigo AUTO-DOLLY Aurrigo Driverless Technology 2021-02-24 | Aurrigo takes off as it announces the global launch of its new autonomous luggage and cargo transport platform for the aviation sector called Auto-Dolly®A new autonomous luggage and cargo system has been launched today that promises to offer a host of operational and financial savings to the aviation sector.Aurrigo, one of the world’s leading autonomous vehicle specialists, has officially unveiled the Auto-Dolly®, which will give airports the opportunity to move luggage and cargo around indoor and outdoor settings without the need for human operators.Auto-Dolly® has the ability to navigate autonomously from one task to another, collecting and dropping off the luggage or cargo automatically using a powered roller deck and theunique ability to ‘crab’ sideways when docking and parallel parking.All weather running is achieved by weather-hardened sensors and innovative software processes that allow the Auto-Dollies to operate in snow, heavy rain, direct sunlight and fog.A recent trial at Heathrow and a digital-twinning project with a leading Far Eastern airport have revealed that this technology can reduce the number of traditional tugs and trailers used to transport luggage and cargo by two thirds, as well as substantially cutting carbon emissions.“The aviation sector is going through one of the worst periods in living memory. When it emerges, it will need to explore ways where it can achieve cost savings and increase operational efficiencies, including turning around planes and getting them away on time,” explained David Keene, Chief Executive of Aurrigo.“Auto-Dolly® will revolutionise airports by improving efficiency in the way aircraft luggage and cargo is loaded, unloaded and handled. Auto-Dolly® virtually eliminates all human contact from the baggage and cargo process, extremely important in today’s Covid world and unlike the tugs that are used today, every Auto-Dolly® is able to carry a load. This results in improved space utilisation in the baggage hall as no valuable space is taken up by a vehicle that cannot move something.”He continued: “Our autonomous vehicles are controlled by our Ai based cyber secure fleet management system called Auto-ConnectTM, which intelligently assigns Auto-Dollies in the optimum way to meet the strict operational deadlines at the airport.”“Together with the Auto-Dolly® launch we are also releasing our Auto-SimTM product which is a sophisticated airport simulator software tool allowing customers to baseline currentoperations and then model how to migrate from manual methods through to a fully automated Auto-Dolly® operation.”He concluded: ““Engagement with lead customers, together with continuing on-site airport trials, have been fantastic and we’re now in the position to launch our Auto-Dolly® solution to the world. This could equate to hundreds of millions of pounds of cost reduction every year for the airport industry, plus the huge environmental savings gained by reducing overall emissions of the fleet of today’s inefficient tractors and trailers.”For further information, please visit www.aurrigo.com or follow @aurrigotech on twitter
Aurrigo Shuttle at Celtic Manor, Wales Aurrigo Driverless Technology 2020-08-19 | Aurrigo tees up autonomous world first at the Wales Open • Autonomous shuttle to be used at a live sporting event for the first time ever • Aurrigo shuttle has been designed to be Covid-19 secure • Offers potential blueprint for first and last mile travel solutions going forward Some of the world’s best golfers will be part of a global first demonstration when the European Tour rolls into the Celtic Manor Resort for the ISPS Handa Wales Open today. Golfers and their caddies will be among the first professional sportspeople ever to be transported in an autonomous shuttle. Coventry-based Aurrigo is behind the innovation and will be running a driverless transport service from the famous Twenty Ten Club House to the 1st tee. The shuttle, which can normally carry up to 12 people, has been redesigned specifically for the tournament to follow all Covid-19 rules, with three twin bench seats able to carry a golfer and their caddie two metres apart. A touchless sanitiser unit is available as you enter the vehicle and masks/gloves will be available for additional protection. Lidars*, cameras and inertial** navigation technology guide the vehicle throughout its journey and an exciting partnership with Vodafone provides the 4G real-time data connectivity via their cellular communications network. The data can then be viewed by the Aurrigo fleet management system to remotely monitor and track the vehicles. David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo, commented: “This is a really exciting milestone for our business and this technology, as it will be the first time ever in the world that sportspeople will be carried by an autonomous vehicle at a live event. “We have been working extremely closely with the European Tour and the players to redesign the inside of the shuttle to ensure that it is fully Covid-19 secure, whilst our new technology partnership with Vodafone will provide vital connectivity.” He continued: “Our engineering team will be based at the Celtic Manor Resort to oversee the shuttle’s operations, which will be running for the duration of the ISPS Handa Wales Open. In total, we expect to make over 100 driverless journeys.” Aurrigo, which operates from its Advanced Centre of Engineering in Coventry, has been developing the shuttle for the last two years since it was appointed to be part of the Government’s CCAV Smart Cambridge’s T-CABS project to deliver the UK’s first autonomous bus route. The shuttle is constructed from high strength composite materials to create a lightweight, efficient vehicle structure offering a range of up to 124 miles on a single charge using a 96V lithium power pack coupled with a 22KW electric motor. Before Covid-19, it was expected to seat 12 people and has the option to safely accommodate wheelchair passengers. David continued: “The Celtic Manor Resort heard about our new autonomous shuttle and invited us to see if we could adapt a solution that could provide driverless transport for players competing in the Wales Open. “It was such a big opportunity to showcase our technology in front of a global audience that we accepted the challenge and have come up with a Covid-19 secure autonomous vehicle that is a blueprint for other transport solutions. “We believe it is the only EV shuttle of its kind that can be switched between operating autonomously or driven by an operator using a conventional steering wheel and pedals. “This versatility has been a huge hit with a raft of global clients registering their interest for deploying them in leisure, retail, airports and industrial space.” Anne Sheehan, Director at Vodafone UK, said: “It’s fantastic to see our leading connectivity playing a pivotal role in making this event happen. We’re always looking at ways in which our technology can overcome the challenges brought about by Covid-19.” Transport Minister Rachel Maclean concluded: “This is a global-first for the sporting world and I’m excited to see how this technology develops as we look to secure the UK’s position as a world-leading innovator. “Self-driving vehicle technology is crucial for the transport revolution happening today in the UK, which is why milestones such as this are so important – helping to make everyday journeys greener, safer, more flexible and more reliable.”
Auto Car - Innovation Winner - Aurrigo Aurrigo Driverless Technology 2020-07-09 | Aurrigo’s autonomous breakthroughs land Autocar ‘Innovation’ Award A Coventry-based driverless vehicle specialist has beaten off some of the world’s largest car brands and manufacturers to secure Autocar’s Innovation Award. Aurrigo, which is set to start its first autonomous shuttle trial at Cambridge Business Park in October, was recognised by the car magazine for the way it has made major breakthroughs with its 4-seater Pod Zero and pioneering work with British Airways on an autonomous luggage dolly serving Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. A high-profile judging panel cited how the Midlands manufacturer is taking on and leading businesses ten times their size in the race to break down the boundaries of autonomous vehicles and potentially changing the way people are transported on the first and last stages of their journey. “Autocar is like a bible for the automotive sector and to have our work recognised among such massive names is a fantastic achievement,” explained David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo. “We have been at the forefront of the UK’s drive for autonomous vehicles, working with Innovate UK on delivering one of the largest trials in Europe and, in more recent years, looking at ways in which we can commercialise our pods, sealing over £4m of contracts so far to customers in seven different countries.” He continued: “Our ability to get pods, autonomous dollies and our new shuttle out into the public domain for testing has really helped accelerate possible adoption of this technology - this award will be a massive boost in getting the message out in the UK and overseas. “It also tells our staff what a wonderful job they’ve been doing. The last three months have been a tough time, but with this announcement, the new trial in Cambridge and a sporting world first on the horizon, there’s a lot to be positive about.” The £3.2m Cambridge Business Park trial is being run in partnership with Smart Cambridge, a collaboration of Cambridge County Council and the Greater Cambridge Partnership. It has involved Aurrigo designing and building six prototype shuttles at its Advanced Engineering Centre in Coventry that, in normal times, can transport up to 18 passengers along a designated route. Due to Covid-19 and the need for social distancing, the capacity has been reduced to just six people for when the trial gets underway in October. David continued: “Our shuttle has the potential to provide transport for city centres, shopping and care facilities, airports, heritage sites and, in Cambridge’s case, vitally important employment land.“The trial will give us the opportunity to showcase how a larger autonomous vehicle, capable of taking more passengers, can interact with its environment and other transport systems to deliver a cost-effective solution for areas that need to keep links open even in times of less demand. “A driverless vehicle is far more cost effective during these times and this project could provide a template that could be replicated across the world.” The Aurrigo shuttle is built with high strength composite material to create a lightweight, efficient vehicle offering a range of up to 124 miles on a single charge. Before Covid-19, it was expected to seat 12 people with a further 6 standing and the option to safely accommodate wheelchair passengers.
