Autonomous Ev Charging Robot
The Autonomous EV Charging Robot outlines the design and functionality of an innovative robotic system that automates the electric vehicle (EV) charging process. The system employs a compact, sensor-equipped robot capable of autonomously detecting an EV, navigating to its position, and connecting to its charging port without human intervention. Key objectives include autonomous charging, navigation and enhanced accessibility in various environments. The robot is controlled by a Raspberry Pi, which manages object detection, motor control, and arm positioning for precise connection to the EV port. The system ensures accurate path-following and secure connection to the EV's charging port by utilising IR sensors, ultrasonic sensors, a line-following mechanism, and servocontrolled robotic arms. The requirements for the prototype, the results of the simulation, and the design features all indicate that the robot can do tasks well on its own and will go back to its resting position when it's done. This self-driving EV charging system makes it easier to charge many different types of EVs in many different settings by giving users a smooth, easy-touse experience.
