Autonomous Wireless Charging
Overview
The Wireless and Intelligent Systems Research Group at the University of Dubai focuses on developing intelligent mobility solutions through Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications. As part of an internally funded project, the group is working on a wireless charging vehicle capable of autonomously navigating to other vehicles with depleted batteries for wireless proximity charging. The system integrates a wireless charging kit with a mobile robot, allowing for charging both stationery and moving vehicles. It will be deployed as a minimum viable product (MVP) for autonomous patrolling or inter-campus delivery.
