The Mobile Robot that Charges the E-Car

The autonomous mobile charging robot is intended to help e-mobility gain more space and dispel concerns about range and charging options. Frankl - TU Graz By Susanne Eigner - The fully autonomous, mobile charging robot finds its way independently to the parked electric vehicle (EV) and supplies it with energy. The prototype developed by TU Graz and the Austrian companies ALVERI and ARTI Robots is intended to contribute to the widespread use of e-mobility. Picture material for download at the end of the text It sounds convenient. The EV reports the need for charging and a mobile robot sets out to supply the parked car with energy - completely independently and without human intervention. The search for a charging station and any worry about the remaining range are thus a thing of the past. The prototype of such a charging robot developed by TU Graz and ALVERI and ARTI Robots is not quite so advanced yet - but the first demonstration worldwide comes very close to this vision (as can be seen ).
