Robots on the Move: Optimizing the World’s First Robotic Car Storage Service
Stanley Robotics partnered with Altair to optimize the mechanical design of its autonomous valet robots used in vehicle logistics. Using Altair Inspire and MotionSolve, engineers created a digital twin to evaluate durability, fatigue life, and load conditions under real-world operation. Simulation replaced conservative over-design practices, enabling mass reduction of up to 30% and cost savings of up to 20% while meeting a 10-year service life requirement. The virtual validation process shortened development time, improved reliability, and gave designers confidence to innovate while ensuring robustness for large-scale deployment.
