Abstract: ABSTRACT Title: AIRPORT INDOOR TERMINAL LUGGAGE HOLDING TROLLEY WITH AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATED RETURN TO DOCKING STATION The present invention discloses an airport indoor terminal luggage holding trolley 5 configured with autonomous navigated return and automatic docking operation within airport terminal environments. The trolley (1) includes a luggage holding deck (4), rear traction wheels (2), front traction wheel (3), handle (5), drive cabin (8), and a micro controller interface (6) connected with a navigation guidance interface (7). An object detecting sensor (9) detects unloading of luggage from the luggage holding deck (4) 10 and activates a timer interface (10) after absence of baggage detection. Upon completion of a predefined waiting duration, the navigation guidance interface (7) receives digital identification signaling from a bay identity transmitter (15) positioned within a docking bay (13). The micro controller interface (6) controls autonomous movement of the trolley (1) toward the docking bay (13) through the rear traction 15 wheels (2) and front traction wheel (3). An obstacle sensor (16) detects pathway obstructions during navigation movement. Charging terminals male ( 11) positioned on the trolley (1) automatically align with power terminals (14) within the docking bay (13) for charging engagement. The invention reduces manual trolley collection requirements and improves pedestrian movement efficiency within airport terminal
