Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “Robot docking stations and mechanisms for autom ated charging of robots are well knownand have existed for many years. However, there continues to be a need for improving mechanical andelectrical components of such stations and mechanisms, especially when stations and mechanisms automatically charge robots that swarm in different outdoor and indoor environments. O ne example technicalimprovement that may be often overlooked is the reduction i n the costs and complexities of building andoperating stations and mechanisms f or automated charging of mobile robots.”
