Nanjing parking lot shows robot valets effective

Finding parking space could be a headache in a crowded downtown area, but not for drivers in Nanjing's busiest business district, thanks to smart robots that function as parking valets.

A parking lot with robot valets, designed and built by Shenzhen Yee Fung Automation Technology Co, started operations in early December.

Located at the Confucius Temple area, the parking space is surrounded by a bus station, metro rail line exits, hotels, shopping areas and tourist sites.
