Tankpitstop robot tanker

At the petrol stations in Holland by the end of the year, perhaps the first of its kind filling robot will appear.



For a lot of money (about 75 thousand euros), which is an automatic "hand" Tankpitstop, the owner of the gas station will not be able to hire the boy or the queen of the gas station, but provide the refueling process to the mechanism. Which can open the tank of the car (by unscrewing the cover) and gently insert the filling gun into the tank.



Behind all the mechanical actions of the Tankpitstop is a computerized system that determines the brand of the car still at the entrance to the gas station and, as a result, the volume of its gas tank and the fuel on which it (the car) works.



I'm not sure that all gas station owners will decide to entrust the work of customer service to the robot right away. But in itself, an automated device deserves attention. First in the world, after all.
