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.
- aboutruby 8y agoHere is a non-rendered video where the lifting happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocfNOjeBm8 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
- stanley_bots 8y agosame 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
- cortic 8y agoCan't find anywhere in Lyon airport to book this service; https://www.lyonaeroports.com/en/parkings-airport/car-parks-map https://www.lyonaeroports.com/en/parkings-airport/car-parks-... Also they seem to use ectorparking.com at Lyon, are you affiliated with Ector?
- aboutruby 8y agoAlso 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?)
- jpalomaki 8y agoMaybe something similar as pallet jack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_jack https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_jack Example of an electric one: https://youtu.be/w7MG3DOwAhQ 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.
- stanley_bots 8y agowe 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
