An automated staging system or a self-controlled stage/platform that operates independently, often in theater or manufacturing.
From auto- (self) + stage (platform/phase). Compound term likely from theater technology and later industrial automation contexts.
Modern concert venues use autostages that move sets on and off automatically between songs—instead of stagehands pushing everything, the stage floor itself rotates and rises at programmed moments.
