QKOIL™ Files New Patent Application for Decentralized Overhead Charging Architecture for Autonomous and Fleet Vehicles
At the core of this new invention is a pole-supported overhead charging assembly that can automatically detect an approaching vehicle registered with the system, dynamically align a power transmitter to a power receiver installed on/in the vehicle’s surface, and initiate charging, all without requiring precise vehicle navigation to align charging elements underneath an autonomous vehicle. The system can either be wireless based using aligned transmitting and receiving coils to achieve inductive wireless charging of an autonomous vehicle (AV) or wired using robotics to automatically plug into the AV for fast charging.
Why Overhead Wireless Charging Is Critical for AMRs in Warehouse and Industrial Settings
The QKOIL™ Overhead Wireless Charging System transforms how Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), logistics robots, and warehouse fleets stay charged and operational — without sacrificing valuable floor space.
QKOIL Wireless Charging - Powering the Future of Autonomous Robotics
For warehouse environments in particular, QKOIL offers a smarter way to keep robotic fleets powered. AMRs can pause briefly during idle cycles and top off their batteries without interrupting workflow. This minimizes downtime and maximizes operational efficiency. QKOIL is also modular and scalable, making it easy to deploy across multiple zones in a facility or adapt as needs evolve.
