Berkeley, CA – January 21, 2026 – Azalea Robotics introduces ARC 1, the world's first mobile, fully-autonomous baggage manipulator. Capable of robustly manipulating a large variety of bags, it can load bag carts and ULDs alike in every airport bagroom setup. This system maximizes flexibility for airport operations by autonomously slotting into any makeup chosen makeup unit and saves customer headaches by constantly updating a complete record of every bag's location.
Designed with safety in mind, the ARC 1 needs no additional safety infrastructure. In rare cases when the system designates a bag it cannot manipulate, baggage handlers can safely work alongside with no operational delays.
ARC 1 is rolling out in airports today. To find out how to be among the first to see it in action, contact us at demo@azalearobotics.com.
