Abstract:One of the most pressing issues in the field of mobile robotics is power delivery. In the past, we have proposed a powered floor based solution. In this article, we propose a system which combines a powered floor with a robot pose estimation system. The floor on which the mobile robots stand is composed of an array of interdigitated conductors that provide DC power supply; the stripes of conductors are interwoven similarly to what happens in a carpet, thus creating a sort of checkerboard of positive and negati… Show more
