| Abstract |
This paper presents the design and
implementation of an automatic battery swap system for
the prolonged activities of home robots. A battery swap
station is proposed to implement battery off‐line
recharging and on‐line exchanging functions. It consists
of a loading and unloading mechanism, a shifting
mechanism, a locking device and a shell. The home robot
is a palm‐sized wheeled robot with an onboard camera
and a removable battery case in the front. It
communicates with the battery swap station wirelessly
through ZigBee. The influences of battery case deflection
and robot docking deflection on the battery swap
operations have been investigated. The experimental
results show that it takes an average time of 84.2s to
complete the battery swap operations. The home robot
does not have to wait several hours for the batteries to be
fully charged. The proposed battery swap system is
proved to be efficient in home robot applications that
need the robots to work continuously over a long period. |
