 Deployed, Tested and Being Greatly Expanded at Top European Airport
The outdoor, robotic parking service developed by Stanley Robotics has tested so well that it's being expanded at Lyon Airport in France. The Airport is expanding the service from 500 parking spaces to 2,000 by summer of 2020 and 6,000 beyond that. Lyon Airport and Stanley Robotics have invented a very innovative and convenient airport parking lot that is leading the way in passenger parking convenience.

Convenient and Easy Airport Parking by Robot Valets
The expanded robotic service will be run by seven autonomous robots working simultaneously with 28 cabins to drop off and pick up cars.  Lyon Airport CEO Tanguy Bertolus says the service enhances customer convenience and the airport experience and cuts the environmental impact of airport activities.  In fact, it cuts the carbon dioxide emissions from cars looking for a parking space significantly.  Lyon was named Europe's best airport in 2019 in the 10 million to 25 million passenger category. Airport officials believe that the Stanley Robotics system significantly contributed to their win.

Robotics Economy
Stanley Robotics is part of the robotics future in service that is happening right now.  Their parking service is very easy to use.   Passengers book their parking space on the Airport website, drop their car off at the designated cabin, go to their plane using nearby shuttle buses.  When they return from their trip, they pick up their car at a designated cabin.  It's a robotic answer to tough parking at global airports.  For a browse of my 5-star rated Amazon book "List of Top New Robots" - which is in paperback, audiobook and e-book form, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B07K4QX385&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_OqjnEbJYAPM64

US Army Invention - Drone Defense Source:  US Army Drone Netting Device Drone Netting Grenade U.S Army researchers have created a 40 mm grenade to protect the armed forces from menacing, enemy or rogue drones.  The defensive drone grenade takes out the drone with a weighted net. Countermeasure - Net Bagging a Drone The net is spring loaded and ejects from the front of the grenade when it nears the drone target.  The net can be triggered remotely by a person on the ground or automatically by an onboard proximity sensor. Drone Defense The net springs open to 30 feet in diameter.  It traps the drone, causing it to fall to the ground.  Word of this new drone defensive technology has just been released.  For more news stories on important innovations, go to  amazon.com/author/ekane
