Medigus: Charging Robotics Successfully Completes a Proof of Concept for its Electric Vehicle Wireless Charging Robot
July 30 2021 - 7:45AM
Medigus Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDGS), a technology company engaged in
advanced medical solutions, innovative internet technologies and
electric vehicle and charging solutions announced today that
Charging Robotics Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary, has concluded
a proof of concept, successfully demonstrating the capabilities of
its electric vehicle wireless charging robot.
Charging Robotics mission is to overcome one of
today's biggest challenges in wireless charging of electric
vehicles-seamless, highly efficient battery charging for both
manned and unmanned vehicles.
The demonstration system consists of a robotic
platform capable of autonomous navigation. The robotic platform
carries an energy transmitting coil, batteries and supporting
electronics. The second component of the system is an EV simulating
unit, which houses the target batteries to be charged, an energy
receiving coil and the supporting electronics.
The robot navigated from its home position along
a predefined route to the starting position, which is a point close
to the optimal charging position. Charging occurs at the maximum
rate when both coils are perfectly aligned. Following arrival to
the starting position, the alignment process begins. As the energy
was transmitted from the Robot transmitting coil to the receiving
coil, the robot was ordered to move in small increments in order to
optimize the charging rate.
The whole process demonstrated a charging
efficiency of 93% at a power of 1kW and was capable of reaching the
starting position as well as completing the alignment process. At
no time did any part of the system come in physical contact with
the other. Coils were positioned about 5 cm apart, and the robot
ensured good alignment between them.
Following the successful POC, Charging Robotics
plans to move forward with a commercial pilot project and to
enhance the system power from 1 kW to ~13-kW which is the standard
for domestic chargers.
About Charging Robotics
Charging Robotics is developing an on-demand
autonomous charging system to be used anywhere, anytime. The
wireless charging system being developed is intended to be
self-aligning to electric vehicle battery chargers. The
state-of-the-art autonomous Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)
technology, once developed, is intended to seamlessly and
efficiently charge the vehicle upon demand, will carry the Wireless
Power Transfer from a charging station or charging truck, to a
customer’s vehicle that needs electric charging.

“could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar
expressions and derivations thereof in connection with any
discussion of future events, trends or prospects or future
operating or financial performance, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. For
example, Medigus uses forward looking statements when describing
the Charging Robotics’ plans to move forward with a commercial
pilot project and to enhance the system power from 1 kW to ~13-k,
that the on-demand autonomous charging system is intended to be
used anywhere and anytime, that the WPT technology is intended to
seamlessly and efficiently charge the vehicle upon demand, and it
will carry the WPT from charging station or charging truck, to a
customer’s vehicle that needs electric charging, as well as the
planned features and functionality of the Wireless Power Transfer
Technology. These forward-looking statements represent Medigus’
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is
possible that the results described in this press release will not
be achieved, due to inter alia the spread of COVID-19 as well as
the restriction deriving therefrom and difficulties arising from
the development and manufacture of wireless charging products.
Nothing in the description herein should be understood or construed
as an announcement of completed products or an existing proof of
concept. By their nature, Forward-Looking Statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
future results of the Medigus’ activity to differ significantly
