When space is tight and parking is difficult, we all wish someone skilled could do it for us.
Soon, robots may take on that role.
They say door-ding accidents will decrease and parking capacity will increase by more than 50%. Let's see how it works.
Reporter Bae Jun-woo reports.

A parking lot installed under an overpass in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province.
 
Since October 2020, a test has been under way in which robots park cars on their own instead of people.
 
▶ Stand-up: Bae Jun-woo / Reporter
- "I'll try automatic parking myself. As the car approaches, the parking lot entrance opens automatically. Once you drive the car onto the parking pallet and simply step out, parking proceeds automatically."
 
The parking robot lifts the carrier holding the vehicle and drives into the parking lot.
 
It circles once to find an available space, approaches the parking spot, and completes parking in no time.
 
When leaving, the driver enters the vehicle number at an unmanned kiosk, and the parking robot finds the carrier with that vehicle and moves it to the exit.
 
By saving the space needed for people to get in and out of vehicles, it can park more than 50% more cars, and its initial installation cost is 20% lower than that of a mechanical parking facility.
 
▶ Interview: Park Cheol / Head of Convergence Industry Team, Bucheon Industry Promotion Agency
- "We developed the parking robot with the goal of parking more cars in the same space. Once commercialized, it will allow at least 30% and up to 50% more parking…."
 
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has prepared an amendment to the mechanical parking regulations to allow robotic parking facilities, which is scheduled to take effect in September.
