  • Baggage handling system and associated method
    Patent number: 8509945
    Abstract: An automated airport baggage handling system includes a baggage transport can transported with baggage between remote locations, a stationary baggage transport conveyor to transport the baggage, a communication link, a controller coupled to the baggage transport can and the baggage transport conveyor via the communication link, and a mobile robotic device controlled by the controller. A stationary guide track is located adjacent to the baggage transport can and the baggage transport conveyor, first sensors are located at the baggage transport can, the baggage transport conveyor, the robotic device and the guide track. A plurality of second sensors is attached to the baggage. The controller causes the robotic device to be displaced along the guide track in such a manner that the robotic device accesses the baggage transport can and thereafter accesses the transport conveyor while remaining positioned along the guide track.
