For those drivers who do not like to take the tank out of their gasoline car, a Swedish company presents a great invention. Danderyd's Transrobot, located next to Stockholm, has developed a system called "Tankomatic". This system forces cars to meet a number of requirements. On the one hand, in the mouth of the gas tank you have to place a special kit and on the other, park the car near the machine (and not in any way).

The robot has sensors that allow to locate and open the tank cap, introducing the injector fuel. Once finished the injector is collected and the plug is placed.

The robot automatically stops the supply if there is a problem or if the tank is already full.
