Your video is the only non-animated one i can find, and really, its just of a dolly bumping into a car, then cut to 'car being on dolly' and disappearing out of view. All the pictures in the article seem taken from the animated promotional stuff for stanley-robotics.com which itself seems unrealistic as best. And even the 'already used in France' bit is misleading, as it was a trial at charles de gaulle with no information on the scale or success.

Their site looks like its there to attract investors rather than sell any kind of real product.. i might be wrong but i don't think this is going to amount to anything, shame.




Here is a non-rendered video where the lifting happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocfNOjeBm8

I don't see how 2 tons are being lifted from such a low and thin surface. The whole thing looks more like a Kickstarter than a real product.

Edit: Nope this is 100% legit


Maybe something similar as pallet jack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_jack

Example of an electric one: https://youtu.be/w7MG3DOwAhQ

Quite close to this Stanley device. They claim capacity of 3,5 tons. Forks are not as long, but the mechanics seem such that extending them should not be a problem.


same replies as above. Our robots have been receiving in our opened service (Lyon airport) on a daily basis vehicles up to 3 tons (incl. heavy SUVs with hybrid powertrain). Our mechanical spec. is higher though


Can't find anywhere in Lyon airport to book this service;

https://www.lyonaeroports.com/en/parkings-airport/car-parks-...

Also they seem to use ectorparking.com at Lyon, are you affiliated with Ector?


Also no sign of it on Twitter, seems like people using it would likely talk about it on social media (maybe it's a private beta for airport employees?)


we understand your point, please see also our comment above. we are extremely serious and cautious people, and have not even started communicating ourselves regarding the Gatwick project. Our robots are very real, and impressive according to the professionals & users knowing them. Kind regards, Stanley Robotics
