Parkie! This AI Robot Can Lift Up & Move Your Car With No Human Help!

You park your car, step away, and turn around. It’s gone. No driver. No sound. No warning. Just disappeared. Was it stolen? Towed? Or… something else? That’s where the story begins—with a robot. Not the kind you see in sci-fi movies. This one is real, rolling silently through parking garages. The device is called Parkie, and it’s making headlines for one reason: it can lift and move your car—without touching the steering wheel, and without any human help.

Parkie is an autonomous robot valet built by HL Mando, a South Korean company known for developing smart mobility technologies. This innovation, as reported by UPI, is designed to slide under your car, gently lift it using precision hydraulic systems, and move it to a perfect parking spot. You don’t give it instructions. You just leave your car, and the robot does the rest.

This system is part of what’s called an Autonomous Valet Robot System (AVRS). The purpose is simple—save space and boost efficiency in crowded areas like airports, malls, and smart buildings. Traditional parking needs ramps, wide lanes, and human effort. Parkie removes all of that. It navigates on its own using sensors, lidar, radar, and AI-based software. The robot knows where to go, how to avoid people or walls, and how to place your car precisely.

In a viral video that captured public attention, Parkie was seen lifting a Mercedes-Benz and quietly moving it through a garage. No noise. No jerks. Just clean movement. The green lights on the robot indicate it’s operational and ready to work. It doesn’t just park your car—it can retrieve it too, bringing it back to where you dropped it off.

This isn’t a concept or a prototype. It’s already in real-world testing, and early deployments are being watched closely by major cities. HL Mando says this system can increase parking capacity by 30%, reduce human error, and cut labor costs—a triple win for modern infrastructure.
