It's still an impressive engineering feat, and (probably, given recent AI advances) an incredible time to market. I wonder when they started working on this, how big their company is, how much training data they put into it, etc. What is the name of the company that built this? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There’s nothing whatsoever to indicate that this has anything at all to do with LLMs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It's probably got some AI but not the GPU gobbling kind. This is old school robotics using control loops and old AI algorithms. Sensors decide if you've parked correctly in the garage. Robot is dispatched via a queue once you've closed the door. Cameras and sensors guide the dolly into place. Robot follows predetermined route to the parking spot and uses sensors to detect obstructions (people, debris, other robots parking cars). Maybe there's lidar on board. Cameras and encoders guide the car perfectly into the designated spot. Robot whisks off to go charge or grab another car from the queue. It's effectively the same level of intelligence as a Roomba with the mechanics of an electric forklift. It's still cool but the fundamentals were developed 40+ years ago, we've just managed to shrink a lot of the tech down in size and power since then. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I parked in a robotic parking garage in Denmark ten years ago. This isn't really new tech, though the implementation sounds a bit different. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It says Stanley Robotics in the article: https://www.stanley-robotics.com/ Edit: seems like they got bought out in 2024 by HL Robotics: https://en.hlrobotics.co.kr/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> how much training data they put into it This kind of stuff has been the norm literally for decades in any major harbor. No AI BS needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
