Abstract
The objective of this work is to provide a baseline for a novel indoor robotic application, which is an assistive robot able to autonomously recharge an electric wheelchair using WPT (Wireless Power Transfer). As such, I had to devise a plan from scratch and provide a first generation prototype to demonstrate that this application is possible following strict constraints. In particular, cost and most importantly size must be carefully considered, as the robot will have to fit under a wheelchair. This project was realized at Freedm Lab in Raleigh, at North Carolina State University. As a power electronics specialized research facility, other colleagues developed the WPT system, while I focused on path planning, communication and programming of the robot.
Create 3, from iRobot company, was used for quick prototyping
