The docking and recharging system for a mobile robot must guarantee the ability of the mobile robot to perform its tasks continuously without human intervention. In this paper, two docking mechanisms are proposed with localization error-compensation capability for the auto recharging system. Friction forces or magnetic forces are used between the docking parts of the docking module and those of the docking station. In addition, an auto recharging system is developed to control the power. Since the system is modularized, it can easily be adapted to other robots.

The docking and recharging system for a mobile robot must guarantee the ability to perform its tasks continuously without human intervention. This paper proposes two docking mechanisms with localization error-compensation capability for an auto recharging system. The mechanisms use friction forces or magnetic forces between the docking parts of the robot and those of the docking station. It is a structure to improve the allowance ranges of lateral and directional docking offsets, in which the robot is able to dock into the docking station. In this paper, auto-recharging system and the features of the proposed mechanisms are verified with experimental results using simple homing method.

본 논문에서는, 무선 전력전송 방식을 이용한 이동로봇의 자동 충전 시스템을 개발한다. 기존 이동로봇의 자동 충전이 기구적 접촉에 의해 이루어졌던 것에 비해, 무선 전력전송을 이용한 충전 방법은 전자기 유도 방식에 의한 비접촉 충전시스템이다. 이 방식은 송수신 코일이 바른 위치에 정렬되어야만 효율적인 충전이 가능하다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 영상정보를 통해 충전시스템의 원형 송신 코일의 변형률을 인식하여, 효율적인 자동충전이 가능하도록 이동로봇의 자세를 제어한다.
