It's a fully automated

Today, Sten Corfitsen, an entrepreneur in Sweden, and his business partners at a company based in Missouri that manufactures fuel nozzles and related accessories think they have the next great idea: robogas.It's a fully automated, robotic refueling system that the team of inventors hopes is coming soon to a gas station near you."Everybody thinks refueling is just a boring and dirty necessity," said Corfitsen, the founder and chief executive officer of Fuelmatics Systems AB, based in Stockholm. "Our technical innovation is fast, clean and more efficient than pumping gas the old-fashioned way."And for the retailer, it's a way to steal customers from your competitor by offering something much more attractive to drivers than a free cup of coffee," Corfitsen, who worked developing ATMs many years ago and saw how they transformed the banking industry, said during a telephone interview from Stockholm.
A prototype of Fuelmatics' robotic fueling system is being tested and fine-tuned at the Husky Corp. factory near St. Louis. Husky engineers developed a spout that extends into the vehicle's fuel neck. Refueling time can be reduced by up to 30 percent using the robotic process, the two companies say.Your Getting Around reporter made the trip to Husky's headquarters in Pacific, Mo., to see whether a robot really could pump gas.
The robotic machine operates along a track and is designed for installation at a traditional gas station fueling bay by taking the place of a stationary pump. As the driver pulls up to the bay, an infrared scanner on the robot casts a light to locate the vehicle's fuel door by identifying the shadow that is created by the gap between the fuel door and the vehicle's body panel.A suction cup attached to an adjustable arm on the robot opens the vehicle's fuel door.

If the fuel door is locked, the driver will be alerted to spring the latch, officials at Husky demonstrated during the run-through at the plant using a mock-up of the driver's side panel of a Ford MustanTherefore the ideal Christmas gift for my mum will have to Egg whisk something that'll go in her kitchen.g.There are many other functions for the vehicle as all that precision machining used in the form of axles and these shafts do connect the ordinary cars axles.
