Power Distribution Technology based on Transmission of Power Packets via Conducting Metal Body

Abstract

In the pursuit of advancing robotics and mobility, we are considering the implementation of energy transmission technology using power packets. By applying power packets to these mechanisms, both power and control signals can be transmitted through a single wiring system, which is expected to simplify the wiring and improve durability. We propose using a metal body instead of wires to conduct electrical power, which allows the omission of wiring and results in improvements in design and durability. In this study, we verify the body energizing technology that utilizes a power packet circuit. For this, we created a prototype of a rover equipped with six wheels.
