Technical Visit – Automatic Parking System Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks

Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) has introduced the city’s first automated robotic parking system with electric vehicle (EV) charging at Hong Kong Science Park, the city’s largest R&D campus. As the first robotic car parking system to be trialled in Hong Kong, HKSTP’s Robotic Parking features a combination of technologies including AI, robotics and sensors.

The new facility delivers significant space savings by enabling optimal parking in multiple rows and columns (double-parking), supported by the AGVs which access the parking pallets from multiple angles using omni-directional movements.

Equipped with a precise laser navigation system, the AGVs are capable of achieving high levels of positioning accuracy at plus or minus 5mm. Powered by advanced route planning algorithms, the AGVs maximise space utilisation and also transport each car via the most efficient route.
