Optimal Battery Charging in Solar Robotic Vehicle
Sagar Pise, Dr. Dinkar Manik Yadav
Abstract: This paper concentrates on the design and construction of charging system of LiPo batteries with the help of tracked solar panels. Thus a energy management system is put forward in robotic vehicle. The proposed system was undergone testing on the VANTER robotic platform. This robotic system is designed using smart host microcontroller. On this basis, our proposal makes a double sided contribution. On one side, it shows the use of construction of a solar tracking mechanism for increasing the robots power regardless of its mobility. On the other side, it has design of power system performance based on two batteries. In these two batteries, one is charging independently and other is providing energy to robot.
