At first glance, the aviation and container terminal industries might seem like two separate worlds—one soaring through the skies, the other anchored at bustling ports. Airports move people at high speeds across continents, while terminals guide containers through intricate supply chains. But when you zoom out, both industries share the same fundamental challenge: managing transport hubs where precision, efficiency, and adaptability determine success.

The latest research progress in robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps autonomous driving technology become more and more applicable in daily life and industry scenarios. The robotaxi and the autonomous trucking systems are built mainly based on vehicle onboard sensors and computing units. As the operation domain on public roads involves large-scale scenarios regarding locations and objects, an intelligent vehicle must be able to make its decision with its own perception and localisation inputs.

The world is in the middle of the electric revolution. The change from fossil fuel-driven machines to electric-driven has affected almost all industries in one way or another. As always with new technology, it brings new and exciting possibilities, but it also comes with the risk of misunderstandings, insecurity, and even fear, as new technology like electrified vehicles and machines replace old well-known diesel-driven alternatives.
