Problem
Charging and inspection operations in electric and autonomous vehicle depots are performed manually, requiring labor-intensive plug‑in actions multiple times per day across mixed fleets and constrained urban sites. This manual process leads to missed charges, unpredictable vehicle downtime, and higher operational costs, limiting fleet uptime and scalability.
Solution
RoboDock delivers an autonomous robotic system that handles plug‑in charging and vehicle inspections without human intervention. The platform uses vision‑guided alignment to precisely position the charging plug and verify a secure electrical connection before power flow begins. Integrated sensing evaluates vehicle health and readiness, ensuring safe redeployment. Each charge event is logged in a closed‑loop learning system that continuously refines alignment accuracy and inspection reliability, reducing downtime and labor requirements for depot operators.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of electric and autonomous vehicle depots, fleet managers, and logistics providers that require automated charging and inspection solutions to maximize vehicle uptime.
Features
- Vision‑based alignment technology that autonomously positions and inserts charging plugs within standard EV charging station envelopes
- Real‑time verification of electrical connection before initiating power flow to prevent mis‑plugs
- Intelligent sensing suite that conducts pre‑deployment vehicle health checks and readiness assessments
- Closed‑loop learning architecture that captures data from every charge cycle to improve future performance
- Weather‑rated hardware designed for continuous operation in diverse depot environments
- Compatibility with mixed EV and AV fleets, supporting varied vehicle models and charging standards
