# Automated Parking Garage Robots The Hikvision 'Parking Robot' Streamlines Vehicle Storage By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-05-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hikvision-parking-robot References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/05/13/these-self-driving-palettes-will-park-your-car-while-you-go-shopping/) & [en.hikrobotics](http://en.hikrobotics.com/) The Hikvision 'Parking Robot' has been engineered to deliver an exceptionally [automated experience for drivers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park4me) that will enable them to have their car taken care of without the need to perform any manual maneuvering. While [parking assistant robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parkyai) traditionally tow vehicles, this solution works by having cars parked on [metal platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tensor-robocar) that are then shifted from underneath by the system. This acts as a more streamlined procedure that also works to save additional space in cramped underground parking areas. The Hikvision 'Parking Robot' identifies what can be done to handle the ever-increasing number of vehicles in urban areas as space constraints become more of a problem. The system is a Gold Winner of the 2018 Design Intelligence Award. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automated Parking Systems:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop innovative and automated parking systems that take care of car storage without manual maneuvering. - **Robotic Vehicle Storage:** Companies can explore the development of new robotic solutions that take care of vehicle storage systems by using metal platforms to shift cars, reducing the space required for parking areas. - **Smart Parking:** The future of parking systems is in creating smarter parking solutions that can handle the increasing number of vehicles in urban areas and provide more efficient parking spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** Automotive companies can explore partnerships with tech firms to develop automated parking systems that streamline car storage and create more efficient parking experiences for customers. - **Technology Industry:** Technology firms can leverage their expertise to develop new automated parking technologies and solutions that enhance the overall parking experience for customers. - **Real Estate Industry:** The real estate industry can incorporate smart parking systems into their projects to provide more efficient use of space and create more value for property owners and tenants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Parking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radar-vision-parking.md) - [Driverless Airport Parking Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuttgart.md) - [EV-Charging Smart Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggy-robot.md) - [Human-Robot Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoyon-ehwa-automatic-sorting-system.md) - [Automated Parking Assistance Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-parking-assistance.md) - [Accessible EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-ev-charging-station.md) - [Automated Tire-Changing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tire-changing-system.md) - [AI Parking Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parkyai.md) - [Interactive Autonomous Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robo-a2z-delivery-vehicle.md)
