WiBotic unveiled a new, larger 1kW charger, expanding its portfolio to provide wireless charging for larger battery systems.

As robots spread from factories to field applications, developers face many challenges, but wireless charging can help, says WiBotic.

Nabtesco, a leading Japanese engineering company, is now selling WiBotic’s wireless charging solutions for robots in Japan.

WiBotic’s PowerPad Pro charges drones without physical connection points, while wirelessly transferring flight data, images and video.

WiBotic launches new passively cooled onboard charger and two transmitters that use the latest GaN technology for maximum efficiency

Once a Jackal or Husky robot navigates to within several centimeters of a charging station, power is automatically delivered through the air.

WiBotic, a Seattle-based developer of wireless charging and power-optimization systems for robots, today launched fleet energy management software called Commander. It can help robotics users visualize, configure, and optimize delivery of energy throughout their fleet of robots or drones. Commander offers a visual display of charger availability and status, and historical information about which chargers…

WiBotic, which has developed wireless charging systems for mobile robots, aerial drones, and lunar systems, has joined the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute.

Battery life is an issue for many types of robots. But it is especially challenging for robots operating in outer space. A new initiative under NASA’s “Tipping Point” program hopes to solve this and make smaller robots available for missions that weren’t within reach before, including night missions on the moon. NASA awarded a $5.8…
