What If a Robot Could Rethink Parking—and Give Buildings 30% More Space?

For years, parking lots have followed the same formula: fixed lanes, strict dimensions, and a lot of unused potential. Parkie introduces a new approach. As the first autonomous parking robot based on driving technology, it operates without rails or tracks. It moves independently, lifts vehicles safely, and places them with precision—making it possible to fit more cars into the same footprint without altering the building.


This gain in efficiency—up to 30% more space—opens up opportunities that go far beyond simply fitting more vehicles. By removing the constraints of fixed infrastructure, Parkie makes it possible to rethink how parking areas are designed and integrated within a building. Its flexibility allows for reduced ceiling heights, tighter spacing, and adaptable layouts, giving architects and developers the freedom to recover unused volume. That reclaimed space can be repurposed for storage, utilities, additional units, or even entirely new floors in places where expansion wasn’t previously feasible. In doing so, Parkie shifts the role of parking from a static, technical necessity to a strategic design element that contributes to a building’s value, functionality, and long-term adaptability.


The system also redefines the user experience. A mobile app allows drivers to locate their car in real time, schedule pick-up, and exit without delays. Parkie integrates with existing building management and parking systems through API, requiring no major construction. It quietly reduces operating costs and eliminates the need for valet services—while improving both reliability and flow for daily users.
