Contribution
It introduces a novel robot design tailored for electric car charging, with detailed kinematic models and a practical demonstrator implementation.
Findings
Kinematic models successfully guide robot design.
Demonstrator effectively automates charging process.
Design tailored for front-side charging sockets.
Abstract
In this paper, a robot with parallel architecture is proposed for charging an electric vehicle having the charging socket on its front side. Kinematic models are developed to design the robot for a given workspace that corresponds to the car's plug placements. A demonstrator composed by commercial components is shown.
