HL Robotics is accelerating technology validation targeting the domestic parking and automotive logistics market. At this demonstration, two units of the outdoor parking robot “STAN” will be deployed to showcase the entire autonomous parking operation process, from vehicle check-in and retrieval to operations as they are actually conducted at large-scale facilities such as airports.

The demonstration venue has been set up at the outdoor parking lot of the Gangneung Hockey Centre. Visitors will be able to watch on site how STAN rapidly relocates and stores vehicles in a large outdoor space.

The core competitive edge of STAN is cited as its integrated control system incorporating Digital Twin technology. The on-site parking lot is identically reproduced in a virtual space, enabling real-time identification of comprehensive information such as the current positions of robots and vehicles, travel routes, and work progress. Even when multiple robots are operating simultaneously, it intelligently coordinates their travel paths and work sequences to eliminate collision risks and includes a function to pre-position vehicles scheduled for departure. Experts assess that such space-optimization algorithms significantly enhance the operational efficiency of parking facilities.

In addition, the company is pursuing the development of an integrated parking solution that covers both indoor and outdoor environments. By combining “PARKIE,” an indoor-only parking robot, with “STAN,” an outdoor-only robot, it intends to complete the automation of vehicle check-in and retrieval across complex indoor and outdoor settings. HL Robotics expects this solution to be introduced first at large-scale parking facilities such as airports.

HL Robotics CEO Kim Yoon-ki noted that domestic parking robots have so far been introduced and commercialized mainly for indoor spaces, and stated that the company plans to broaden the market base with an integrated indoor-outdoor parking solution incorporating outdoor technology.
