Airtrek Robotics

Airtrek Robotics is a company in Cincinnati, Ohio. It makes wingwalking robots for aircraft. Its product is called Airtrek Groundwatch. The site says the robots ride alongside an aircraft while the operator tows or pushes it. They watch the aircraft in real time and alert the operator before any contact.

The site describes the problem on the ramp. A short distraction can cause costly damage to an aircraft. Weather, glare and night work can reduce visibility. Ramp agents often work close to moving aircraft, vehicles and ground equipment.

The product uses two robots, one at each wingtip. The site says LiDAR and camera perception work through weather, glare and night. The operator sees four camera feeds and a top down view on one tablet. The screen also shows speed, clearance and live alerts.

The site says every pass, alert and event is recorded and can be replayed. This mission review helps audit incidents, train new operators and show safety compliance. The company also offers two other tools. One scans gates, taxiways and ramps for foreign object debris. The other circles an aircraft to check its surfaces for dents and damage.

The site lists three co-founders: Chris Lee as CEO, Jon Taylor as COO and Huzefa Dossaji as CTO. The company's address is 2900 Reading Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45206. Its contact form asks about customer, partnership and investor inquiries. The site says the company typically responds within 24 hours.
