Airport jet bridges are driven like giant robots
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
That boring tunnel you trudge through to board your flight is essentially a massive, incredibly slow-moving robotic arm. An operator completely controls the heavy accordion-like structure using an industrial joystick and video monitors. They must precisely drive the massive steel tube perfectly flush against the fragile aircraft fuselage without denting it, making it the highest stakes arcade game at the terminal.
One discovery leads to another.
