Robotic arm pumps gas autonomously
Marie Donlon | March 30, 2023AutoFuel, a manufacturer of a robotic refueling system of the same name based in Denmark, has automated gas station refueling.
The autonomous robotic system features a robotic arm that is capable of refueling cars.
To use the system, car owners must first pre-register details about their vehicle — including fuel type, license plate and payment information. Additionally, the vehicle must also feature a specialized gas tank cap that the robotic arm can manipulate.
Once a customer pulls into a participating gas station, the robotic system recognizes the license plate and guides the vehicle via associated displays to a highlighted spot and the system begins to dispense gas from an existing gas pump.
