Stanley Robotics builds Stan, a fully autonomous outdoor vehicle-parking robot that lifts cars by their tyres using an electric platform and transports them to dense block-parking configurations without driver input. The system integrates localization, path planning, and fleet management software enabling multiple robots to operate concurrently in outdoor environments. Stan is weather-hardened for year-round outdoor airport use and compatible with nearly any passenger vehicle. Founded by robotics PhDs from INRIA/IFSTTAR autonomous-vehicle research; builds all hardware and software in-house. Acquired by HL Robotics (HL Group subsidiary, Seoul) in October 2024; continues operating as a distinct brand with own leadership and commercial operations.
