Mobile and logistics robotics
Autonomous Shuttles
Autonomous shuttles transport passengers on a defined operating route. The route, supervision and passenger handling describe the service's operating scope.
How these robots work
The vehicle combines localization, obstacle handling and route control. Stops and boarding create extra tasks beyond moving along the road.
How to compare the task
Assess completed passenger trips within the stated service conditions. A vehicle following a route once does not establish operation across all traffic situations.
Examples and applications
- Campus routes
- Controlled-site passenger transport
- Shuttle service trials
Limits of this category
- Weather or road changes can restrict operation.
- A service may still require onboard or remote supervision.
What to check for the intended task
- Record the route and operating restrictions
- Count disengagements and remote interventions
- Measure boarding delays and unavailable trips
