Towards Deploying the Wireless Charging Robots in Smart Environments

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the development process of a Wireless Charging Robot (WCR) according to scenario-based design approach. In the previous work, we have introduced the prototype design and its working functionality as a combination of state of the art in the field of wireless power transmission and mobile robotics. The prototype has designed and examined for various usage scenarios. This work is within our research on WCR where we are attempting to develop an advanced WCR design, considering the example of various practical scenarios for the smart environment. A mobile robot is equipped with a wireless charger and navigates in the environment of various battery nodes in order to charge the network in an efficient way. Hence, we present a mathematical model to find the shortest route for WCR. Furthermore, we also address the cultural influence and reactions of wireless charging robot with a survey result based on country sociological impact.
