GANTRY ROBOT FOR CHARGING MULTIPLE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

An overhead gantry robotic system moves a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) coil across a row of parking spaces in a parking structure. The system detects a vehicle to be charged, adjusts the position of the primary coil over the vehicle, and lowers the primary coil into proximity of a receiver coil in the top of the vehicle

GROUND ROBOT FOR CHARGING MULTIPLE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

A low profile robotic system moves a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) primary coil under a row of vehicles in a parking lot. The system positions itself underneath an Electric Vehicle (EV), adjusts the position of its primary coil to align with the receiver coil under the vehicle, and transfers a sufficient quantity of energy to charge the vehicle. Once charging is complete, the robot moves down the row of parked vehicles to charge additional vehicles
