A Fast Automatic Charging Method for Robots Based on Optic Position and Navigation

Automatic charging is one of the important functions of a robot. Traditional automatic charging is generally based on multiple sensors working with each other. With the development of vision technology, the application of robots’ first vision and third vision is becoming more and more widespread. In this paper, an automatic robot charging system based on optical position and navigation is presented based on third vision. The system design is simplified by positioning the robot and the charging stand based on the optic. After the experimental test, it shows that the robot and the charging stand are docked with high accuracy and the docking is completed well.
