TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS
Stan is equipped with three levels of safety to ensure
operational effectiveness. First, Stanley Robotics
continuously monitors the accuracy, availability and
consistency of the RTK GNSS, SLAM and Odometry
localization signals. "If these signals are too inconsistent or if
the overall confidence is too low, the robots are stopped and
a site supervisor is alerted," said Troublé. "Further, the site
is monitored through LiDARs and cameras on the robot to
prevent any collision with obstacles."
Finally, a trained Stan maintenance worker is assigned to
every parking lot. These individuals wear a safety badge and
every robot is equipped with a safe stop feature that will
trigger if the operator gets within a defined proximity to the
robot.
RESULTS
The first outdoor car park managed by robots opened to the public in 2018 at Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport. Since
testing started in 2017, four Stan robots are now fully operational in the Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport car park, which
can accommodate up to 500 vehicles. Stanley Robotics announced in January 2019 that they will open 2,000
spaces at Lyon in the summer of 2020. The airport is looking to eventually expand this system to up to 6,000
spaces in total. In 2019, Stanley Robotics signed a contract with Gatwick Airports, the first UK airport to use robots
that valet park passengers' cars. The Stanley Robotics team is gearing up to begin work at another airport, more
information to come soon!
