Robots for charging electric vehicles (EVs)

This invention describes a robot designed to automatically charge electric vehicles. The robot uses wheels to move itself to a parked vehicle and has an articulating arm that automatically connects to the vehicle's charging port. It uses sensors to find the vehicle and position its arm, and can be controlled by a user through cloud services and a user account.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in autonomous robotics and computer vision made precise vehicle detection and arm manipulation more robust. Cloud infrastructure for managing robot fleets has also matured.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, sensor fusion, control software, cloud infrastructure
