Joule Labs provides a two‑layer platform that automates the service of autonomous electric vehicle fleets. Its AURA™ hardware suite handles robotic plug‑in charging, sensor cleaning, diagnostic inspection, and data synchronization, while the JouleOS™ software orchestrates bay assignment, queue management, charge scheduling, and fleet routing to enable fully unattended, zero‑touch depot operations.

Problem
Autonomous vehicle fleets experience bottlenecks at service sites because arrivals are uncoordinated, each service event requires on‑site staff for plugging, cleaning, inspection, and data validation, and idle vehicles accumulate, reducing overall fleet utilization.
Solution
Joule Labs addresses these inefficiencies with a two‑layer platform. The AURA™ hardware suite automates physical service tasks—robotic plug‑in charging, sensor cleaning, diagnostic inspection, and data synchronization—without human intervention. The complementary JouleOS™ software orchestrates service events at each site and balances load across a network of depots, handling bay assignment, queue management, charge scheduling, SLA monitoring, and fleet routing. Together they create a “zero‑touch” service environment where autonomous fleets can arrive, be serviced, and depart without manual coordination, improving throughput and reducing dwell time.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of autonomous electric vehicle fleets—such as robotaxi services, delivery drones, and large‑scale EV fleet managers—who need high‑throughput, unattended charging and maintenance depots.
Features
- AURA CHARGE™: robotic EV plug‑in system that autonomously connects and delivers power to vehicles.
