Improving AGV efficiencies with updated battery technologies
AGV-powered sectors like eCommerce and pharmaceuticals have set the pace for electric adoption, cutting emissions while streamlining operations. Yet, legacy batteries, whether lead-acid's sluggish charging or Li-ion's trade-offs in speed, cost, or size, limit progress.
The Battery Bottleneck Holding Robotics Back
In this conversation, he explains how energy needs vary across robot categories, why current systems are holding back innovation, and what battery breakthroughs could mean for the future of robotics.
Powering the Future: NREL Research Finds Opportunities for Breakthrough Battery Designs
Using ultramodern capabilities and world-class laboratory facilities, NREL's energy storage researchers continue to push battery boundaries with materials development, thermal management, diagnostics, and modeling.
Wireless Charging Technology for Autonomous Robotics
Downtime is particularly costly in an operation that relies on carefully coordinated logistics, so optimizing charging times and speeds based on operational needs is very advantageous.
Battery Requirements for Next Gen Mobile Robots
Mobile robots, in the form of AGVs, have been on the market for nearly two decades. But a topical innovation in the sector is creating power requirements that the battery market must respond to.
Batteries, the Heart of Your Drone
Does your battery have the ability to report battery statistics to you while it is airborne? Are you sure that battery will work for your important demo?
A New Lithium-Metal Battery Takes Flight in Drones
Katie Fehrenbacher for GreenTechMedia: For drone makers, that means a drone could fly farther and longer on a single charge. For example, a drone surveying acres of crop land could fly for an hour instead of just 20 minutes with a standard battery.
