A Vancouver startup put self-driving pods in two real airports — not a pilot, actual revenue service. A&K Robotics closed an $8M CAD Series A on April 21, led by BDC’s Industrial Innovation Fund and Vantage Futures, to scale from dozens to hundreds of Cruz Pods a year out of a new Surrey, BC plant.

What the hardware actually is

A&K Robotics Cruz Pod is a small electric indoor passenger pod. Tap a destination on the touchscreen, sit down, it drives itself through crowds using 360° lidar, cameras, sonar, and A&K’s own Kinesos AI motion planner. Live today at Vancouver International (YVR) and Madrid-Barajas — the latter run by Aena, the world’s biggest airport group at ~380M passengers a year.

Not a wheelchair replacement. A shared micro-vehicle for anyone who doesn’t want to walk 2km to Gate Z.

The API surface an agent can hit

A&K ships CruzFleet, a cloud dispatch layer airport ops already plug into their resource-management systems. It exposes route assignment, live pod telemetry, and remote stop/redirect. CruzRemote handles monitoring, CruzMapping keeps the indoor map fresh. No public MCP server yet, but an agent wired to CruzFleet could summon a pod to a gate when a flight lands, or pause the fleet during an incident.

Physical AI for accessibility is having its week. This is the clearest hardware example.
