Up in the Air: Air Traffic Control Agent

Up in the Air: Air Traffic Control Agent — Demo video

Air traffic controllers juggle aircraft, radio calls, and changing conditions under intense pressure. Up in the Air explores a recursive agent team that learns from historical SFO traffic scenarios: propose decisions, inspect failures, test revisions, and retain validated lessons. Our vision is a “Shared Brain” on Crusoe Managed Inference: every agent reads a knowledge base of ATC standard operating procedures and takes in context of current conditions before directing air traffic. Knowledge accumulates without weakening safety constraints and allows our agents to climb the level of autonomy towards an eventual “autopilot” system for ATC.
