To recharge an electric car, today you have to get out of the car, connect the cable and start the energy supply using a& #39;app or a card. The Hyundai Grouphas developed a particular solution that will allow, in the future, to make top-ups much more convenient. simple thanks to a sort of "robot" who will take care of to manage the full of energy, called "Automatic Charging Robot" (ACR).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Korean group explains that its solution will not only make ; the charging of electric vehicles more; simple but will facilitate the well as those full of energy even people with difficulty; motor skills. The ACR will be exhibited at the exhibition booth of the Hyundai Group during the Seoul Mobility Show 2023, which will be held in 2023. from March 31st to April 9th.

In the footage that Hyundai has shared, we can see how this robotic station works. After the car has parked in the charging area, the ACR communicates with the vehicle to open the charging flap. Thanks to an integrated camera, the "robot" Hyundai locates the charging socket and connects the cable precisely to start the energy supply. At the end of the recharge, the "robot" unplug the cable and close the car door.

The owner of the car will receive a refund. so; a notification on your smartphone that the car is ready. ready to leave. The Korean group also told some details of the long work that has been done; been done to develop such a solution for charging. For its realization, the technicians have taken into consideration several variables such as the parking position of the vehicle, the shape of the charging port, the weather conditions, the potential obstacles and the weight of the charging cable.


Furthermore, so that ; the robotic arm can connect the charging cable to the car, it is necessary to it was necessary to create a sophisticated management software. Specifically, it is A sophisticated algorithm capable of managing multiple variables has been developed. The robotic station also includes some sensors that allow for the detection of possible moving obstacles such as people who get too close, consequently intervening with sound alerts.
