HL Holdings's HL Robotics Acquires "Stanley Robotics"

With the world's first company that "commercialized outdoor valet parking robots," HL Robotics advances to take the lead in the global market

HL Robotics, a subsidiary of HL Holdings established on September 6, signed an agreement to acquire "Stanley Robotics," the world's first company to commercialize outdoor valet parking robots. The acquisition is expected to be finalized before the end of the year and following the agreement from the authorities. HL Robotics' swift action has garnered attention and is expected to capture a market worth USD 6.7 billion. The key is on "popularization," the core is "autonomous driving technology," the challenge is "global expansion," and Stanley Robotics is an automated valet parking robot company that fulfills all these criteria. With this acquisition, HL Robotics aims to "take the lead in the global parking robot market" and spearhead the advancement of global autonomous parking robot technology, positioning it as a new growth engine for HL Group.

Stanley Robotics specializes in the commercialization of automated parking robots. After successfully commercializing parking robots in Lyon-Saint-Exup©ry Airport in France in 2018, Stanley Robotics signed a parking robot subscription agreement with a Canadian finished vehicle logistics supply chain company, launching robotic automotive logistics compound management in September this year. This marks the first commercial model in North America featuring a comprehensive package, including maintenance services. Also, expectations for additional orders are high, with concentrated spots for vehicles, including railroad logistics companies and airports across North America and Europe, as potential customers. There is considerable excitement surrounding Stanley Robotics' flagship product, "Stan." Stan is an autonomous valet parking robot that navigates parking lots without time or space constraints, making it a key player in the commercialization of parking robots. This success has been enabled by the Fleet Management System(FMS). The FMS, which utilizes digital twin technology, not only monitors Stan but also provides real-time remote control from one central location. Market concerns about potential "power-off" issues have been addressed by Stan's built-in "intelligent automatic charging function" as the solution.

The market for autonomous parking robots is wide open. Experts predict that the global market, which has been growing at double-digit rates annually, will reach USD 6.7 billion by 2030. This growth is driven by space shortages, population growth, and increasing urban density in major cities worldwide. These factors have led HL Group to invest in the global autonomous parking robot business. HL plans to expand its business portfolio beyond parking robots to include a broader range of robotic solutions aimed at everyday consumers.

About HL Robotics

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
