Continuous power supply for a robot colony

Abstract

A continuous power supply for the robots of a colony is presented. Capacitors are used to replace the previously employed batteries, allowing more freedom of movement and providing the required continuous power. Tests were performed to determine the most effective configuration of capacitors that would allow the hexapod robot to walk for 3 minutes without recharging. Recharging of the capacitors was done through the connection of the robot's metallic probes to the metal plates of a power station
