Israel, Airbus Cooperate on Robot System
PARIS [MENL] -- Israel's leading defense company and Airbus have signed an
agreement to develop a robotic system.
The state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries and Airbus have signed a
memorandum of understanding to develop and test a pilot-controlled towing
semi-robotic system. The Taxibot Dispatch Towing system, designed by IAI,
would enable both wide and narrow body commercial airplanes to taxi to and
from the gate and runway without using their jet engines.
