Automated parking system

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what a parking lot is? It’s kind of like a big open space where cars can park. Well, sometimes parking in a parking lot can be kind of tricky, especially if there are a lot of other cars trying to park too.

That’s where an automated parking system comes in! It’s like having a robot help you park your car. Instead of driving around looking for a spot, you simply drive your car onto a special platform called a “pallet.” Once your car is on the pallet, you get out and let the robot do the rest.

The robot, which is kind of like a big elevator, will lift the pallet up and carry it to an open parking space. The robot will then position the pallet and your car into the spot. When you want to leave, you simply tell the robot to bring your car back and it will lift the pallet up and bring it back to you.

So you see, an automated parking system is like having a helpful robot park your car for you!
