Hyundai Motor Group Shows Newly Developed Automatic Charging Robot for Electric Vehicles
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
SEOUL, March 21, 2023 – #hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has developed an automatic charging #robot (ACR) for electric vehicles (EV), and today released a video showing its capabilities (YouTube video link).
The ACR for EVs is a one-arm #robot capable of plugging a cable into an EV’s charging port and removing it again once charging is complete. The new video of the real #robot in action follows up on a CGI version released by the Group in July last year. (Link to the ACR video released in July 2022)
The new video begins with a scene in which the #hyundai IONIQ 6 parks autonomously in an EV-charging bay. Once the vehicle is stationary, the ACR communicates with the vehicle to open the charging port, calculating the exact location and angle through a camera mounted inside.
The #robot then picks up the charger and fastens it to the vehicle’s charging port, thus starting the charging session. Once charging is complete, the #robot removes the charger, returns it to its rightful place, and closes the cover of the vehicle’s charging port.
“The ACR will help to make EV-charging easier and more convenient, especially in dark environments. It will also improve accessibility, particularly for people with mobility barriers, as charging cables become thicker and heavier to enable high-speed charging,” said Dong Jin Hyun, Head of Robotics Lab, #hyundai Motor Group. “We will continue developing the ACR for increased safety and more convenience, so that all #ev customers can soon benefit from using it at charging stations.”
The ACR, which may appear deceptively simple at first glance, is an example of the Group’s advanced #robot technology. The Group’s Robotics Lab has considered diverse variables in developing the ACR, such as the parking location of the vehicle, the shape of the charging port, the weather, potential obstacles and weight of the charging cable.
In order for a #robot to fasten a charger to the charging port securely, software technology that can simultaneously calculate these multiple variables is required. To this end, the Group has developed an algorithm that applies 3D camera-based AI technology to robots, and next-generation control technology based on this application allows robots to accurately handle heavy chargers.
Given that that most #ev chargers are installed outdoors without cover, the Group’s engineers built a bespoke outdoor electric vehicle charging station at its R&D center and evaluated performance in various conditions. As a result, the ACR has secured a waterproof and dustproof grade of IP65[1], and its performance has been greatly improved so that it can be stably operated even in extreme environments. In addition, engineers have installed a safety pole with a built-in laser sensor around the #robot to prevent possible accidents by enabling it to detect stationary and moving obstacles.
The Group expects automatic charging robots to significantly increase convenience of #ev charging, and if combined with autonomous parking control systems in future, can improve utilization by sequentially charging several parked vehicles.
The newly unveiled ACR will be on display at #hyundai Motor’s exhibition booth during the 2023 #seoul Mobility Show, held at KINTEX in Ilsan-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, from March 31 to April 9.
