Abstract :
Energy efficiency and the power dynamics are two dominant issues of the DC power platform on the moving robot. However, nanotechnology makes it possible to upgrade the capacitor as a dynamic power source with better charge and discharge performance. This paper is aimed to organize an inventive, inexpensive, convenient, and reliable hybrid recharging system (HRS) with a pseudo-cell module of super capacitors with solar panels on the proposed cleaner robot. A distributive controller with CCD camera is also schemed to monitor the working situation of the moving platform. Finally, computer simulations and recharging experiments are carefully examined and demonstrated the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
