• 2026-08-10 - Deployment - Hyundai WIA begins residential parking-robot pilot in Siheung

  Each system uses a pair of 110-millimetre-high robots that lift vehicles by the wheels, move omnidirectionally at up to 1.2 metres per second and handle up to 3.4 tonnes. The Korean smart-city regulatory-sandbox project will measure wait time, parking success, robot uptime, throughput and space efficiency in residential operation. Hyundai expects the layout to improve parking capacity by 20–50% and plans standard operating models for residential, commercial, public and transport buildings.
