description An exemplary airport tug is configured to navigate an airport facility autonomously. The exemplary airport tug may comprise a coupling portion configured to engage with a receiving portion of an aircraft, one or more sensors configured to collect sensor data descriptive of environmental conditions in a vicinity of the airport tug, a memory storing instructions, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising: monitoring, based on the sensor data, the environmental conditions in the vicinity of the airport tug; and directing, based on the monitoring of the environmental conditions and while the coupling portion is engaged to the receiving portion, autonomous movement of the airport tug to transport the aircraft from a starting position to a designated delivery position for the aircraft at the airport facility.
