A fully electric, autonomous vehicle that can efficiently execute a number of important tasks on airport runways, taxiways, aprons, and hangars.
Vega was designed and built to transform the way airfields detect and retrieve FOD, maintain, runways, transport equipment, and help keep operations running smoothly.
Developed with a strong focus on safety, Airwai's Vega houses a 360 degree robust safety perimeter for detection and avoidance.
Airwai's tech stack includes state-of-the-art localization, perception, navigation, and planning functionality.
With a scalable mission control platform and minimal operational setup, the vehicle is perfect for both software and hardware third-party integrations.
Airwai’s novel robotic system, Vega, is projected to create big savings in areas like FOD (foreign object debris) detection and retrieval – a currently manual process.
Annual global cost estimate of FOD by the US Department of Transportation as of May 2023.
Indirect costs from delays and cancellations are 10-12x more costly than direct costs.
FOD cost at the top 10 US Airports alone.
