Car parking is one of the most common problems encountered by urban city dwellers. With uncountable number of cars plaguing the roads, it is only expected that parking spots will become tighter in future.
To bridge this gap, a Chinese company has come up with an innovative laser guided robot, dubbed GETA, which slides under your vehicle, picks it up, looks for an empty spot, and places the car in the tightest of spots.
According to Reuters, the system developed by Yee Fung Automation Technology, would be launched soon. GETA is equipped with 360-degree mobility and is much more efficient in terms of manual parking, requiring on two minutes for parking a car.
The company’s 33-year-old CEO Marco Wu pointed out that the robot covers a large area and will transform the future of parking technologies.
He also said that GETA finds parking space by sending signals to a computerised map which offers direction to the robot to a free spot. The robot parking system is expected to cost more than $150,000 and numerous cities have already shown interest in acquiring the technology.
As mentioned earlier, as automobiles keep on burgeoning, parking technologies are slowly but surely becoming a necessity.
Here is a video of how the concept works:
