Journey Robotics :: Autonomous Baggage Handling Solutions for the Aviation Industry

Journey Robotics is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based robotics company specializing in autonomous baggage handling solutions for the aviation industry. Founded in 2024 by a team of robotics veterans previously affiliated with RE2 Robotics and Sarcos, the company is led by CEO Reeg Allen. Its mission is to address persistent labor shortages, safety concerns, and operational inefficiencies in airport baggage operations by developing touchless, robotic automation.

The company’s flagship product is a purpose-built baggage handling robot designed to automatically load and unload all types of luggage at high speed and with precision. These robots are engineered to perform repetitive, physically demanding tasks around the clock, reducing the risk of injury to human baggage handlers and improving overall airport throughput.
