A French startup company has developed an automated valet service operated by a robot. The robot, named Stan, doesn't require a customer's car keys - instead, it picks up your vehicle and takes it a secure car park. System is also connected to the customer's flight details, so their car is ready to be picked up when they return, and it can also maximize space by double parking in front of vehicles that don't need to be picked up immediately. The robotic system, designed and developed by Stanley Robotics, has already been adopted by Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.
The company just raised $4 million (€3.6 million) from Elaia Partners, Bpifrance and Idinvest Partners. The company's website claims the system works by first booking your spot online through a smartphone app or directly via the website.
The system can stack multiple vehicles (up to five) on a single line by removing some of the aisles that would normally be used by driver's to navigate a parking lot. This means that the robot can can increase parking lot capacities by up to 50 per cent.
