Wingwalking starts before the aircraft moves.
Before GroundWatch takes a wingwalking position, the robot scans the aircraft and builds an aircraft-specific model — wings, engines, fuselage, tail, etc. It doesn't just detect "an aircraft." It understands this aircraft.
Because t...
Wingwalking is one of the safety-critical tasks line techs have to cover during aircraft movements. Airtrek's GroundWatch is designed to take on that task — working alongside them.
Here, the robots hold the wingwalking position as a G500 performs a J-turn, staying with the aircr...
Autonomous wingwalking is moving into real FBO operations with Pentastar Aviation. It's the first integration of its kind in the industry, and where it's happening matters.
Pentastar has been ranked the #1 FBO in the Americas — an operation with nothing to prove and every reason...
Autonomous wingwalking is moving into real FBO operations with Pentastar Aviation. On August 12, we demonstrated GroundWatch with the Pentastar team as we continue bringing the system into their FBO operations.
For us, this is an important step: taking what we've built and putti...
Excited to share that Airtrek Robotics has been selected for the FLITE program at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR). This season, we'll be piloting a proof-of-concept for our autonomous wingwalking technology — demonstrating it in a real-world FBO environment and wor...
One month. 15 demos. One clear signal: airplanes are ready for ground-collision protection.
This clip shows our robot tracking live aircraft and continuously watching the wings to help prevent ground-collision damage. Across the demos we saw it all — bright sun, nighttime ops, h...
What a week at StartupCincy Week 2025! We showcased our robot during a City-as-a-Lab fireside chat and had incredible conversations about the future of autonomous aviation safety.
Huge thanks to Abby Grimm and Cintrifuse, Councilman Mark Jeffreys, Tony Almaguer and 1819 Innovati...
Aircraft suffer millions of dollars in damage every year from hangar rash — minor collisions on wingtips, tails, and fuselages that lead to major repair costs.
We built an AI-guided system to protect aircraft moving through confined ground spaces. Our AI perception technology us...
