HL Robotics, established by HL Group last month, announced on the 8th that it will acquire France-based Stanley Robotics, the world’s first company to commercialize outdoor autonomous parking robots.
As a subsidiary of HL Holdings, HL Robotics plans to invest approximately KRW 32.2 billion (USD 24 million) to acquire 403,647 shares of Stanley Robotics, securing a 74.1% ownership stake.
An HL Group official stated, “Beyond the parking robot business, we aim to expand our robotics portfolio with a greater focus on delivering technology that is more accessible to the public.”
Stanley Robotics remains the world’s first and only company to commercialize outdoor autonomous parking robots.
Through this acquisition, HL Robotics aims not only to lead the global parking robot market but also to position autonomous parking robot technology as a key growth engine for HL Group.
Stanley Robotics successfully commercialized its parking robot solution at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport in 2018. In September of this year, it also signed a subscription-based agreement with Canadian National Railway, one of North America’s top three rail logistics companies.
HL Robotics noted that additional contracts are expected in high-traffic locations such as airports across North America and Europe.
Stanley Robotics’ flagship model, Stan, is a fully autonomous parking robot capable of navigating parking areas without space or infrastructure limitations. It is widely regarded as a pioneer in the commercialization of parking robots worldwide. The global market for parking robots is also rapidly expanding.
Industry analysts project the global parking robot market to reach approximately USD 6.7 billion (KRW 9 trillion) by 2030, maintaining consistent double-digit annual growth.

The persistent shortage of parking spaces, increasing urban populations, and growing urban density in major global cities are expected to further drive sustained demand in the market.
