Abstract :
Electricity has been widely adopted in electric car, robot, and other systems as a power sources. A lot of robots, namely, fixed or mobile robots are studied, and researches are done to fuse the new & renewable energy with robot technology to solve the energy supply problems. For the mobile robots, the energies are usually supplied through the battery, and this causes the limitations of the activity time, the discontinuation of activity, and the range of activity. Therefore, solving the problems and securing the continuous energy supply scheme for extending the running time of the mobile robots can show the advantages for the robot activity and achievements. In the study, we suggest a scheme for the battery replacing method for the mobile robot.
