Robot Ray - the future of airport parking?

Imagine just driving up to the airport and instead of parking your car or handing the keys over to a meet and greet driver, you leave your car with a robot.

Sounds like science fiction?

No it’s not, it’s actually happening at Düsseldorf Airport. Robot Ray is a parking system that claims to be able to park 60% more cars in an area than that of a human being.

How does it work?

Robot Ray scoops up a vehicle using a fork under each wheel and then transports it to a parking slot selected by Ray’s software, based on the car’s dimensions. Robot Ray has four wheels that can turn a full 360-degrees, allowing it to manoeuvre into extremely tight spaces.
