Japan Airlines (JAL) is deploying humanoid robots to assist its human baggage handlers at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The test, starting in May, will involve the robots moving luggage and cargo. The androids are 4 feet, 3 inches tall and can operate for 2-3 hours per charge. JAL will first map and analyze airport conditions to identify safe working areas for the robots. The robots will then undergo test runs in simulated environments before working alongside humans. If successful, they may be used for other tasks, including cleaning aircraft cabins.
