Abstract

In this paper, we developed a ground power supply system through the ground electrodes for a mobile robot moving in the constrained region. By external scan circuit through the electrodes, it is also possible to detect the absolute position of the robot without any additional sensors. Since the heavy weighted-battery for electric power supply and the expensive absolute position sensors are removable from the robot by using for proposed system, the resulting mobile robot system becomes cost-effective and dynamically fast.
