Power Supply Concept for Mobile Robots in Bionic Assembly System

Abstract This paper presents a concept for autonomous energy supply for mobile robots in Bionic Assembly System (BAS). The main idea of this concept is battery swapping and charging station for mobile robots. Emphasis was placed on simplicity, safety and efficiency. Main focuses of this paper are detailed description of operation, battery charging process with implemented battery management system (BMS), mobile robot requirements and its implementation into the existing BAS concept.
