Care-E Robot, Care-E

Care-E Robot is a self-driving trolley packed with autonomous technology and artificial intelligence. The airline will be conducting two-day trials at both JFK and SFO this summer. The airline was planning to demo the Care-E at an event in Brooklyn today, but cancelled the event at the last minute (about 12 hours before it was set to take place). While it does increase our skepticism about whether this prototype works, we welcome the chance to see it in action later this summer. KLM plans to have these robots stationed after security, and the carts can approach customers to scan their boarding passes. From there, a customer will load their luggage onto it, and Care-E will guide them to their gates. It can even stop at duty-free stores along the way or wait while a customer uses the bathroom.
