Stan at London Gatwick Airport

Stanley Robotics' Stan is an outdoor autonomous valet-parking robot that lifts cars up to 2,600 kg by their wheels using eight sensor-guided arms and LiDAR SLAM with centimetric RTK GPS accuracy. The robot operates for up to 20 hours per charge, places approximately 100 cars per day, and can optimize parking density by up to 50% in tarmac or concrete facilities operating from -20 to +60 degrees Celsius. Stan is deployed at airports and parking facilities across Europe.

Recent coverage

See all coverage →

Gatwick Airport Ltd signed a framework contract with Stanley Robotics for a Stan trial in the South Terminal long-stay parking, planned to start in the second half of 2019 and run into early 2020, with robots reclaiming density from conventional bays. It would have been the first UK airport test.

Only announcement and planning coverage was found; there is no confirmation the trial ran to completion, so this is recorded as announced rather than operational.
