Recently, BYD's flash charging robot made its debut in the UAE. This set of automated energy supplementation equipment enables the entire charging process without intervention. The car owner only needs to drive the vehicle into the parking space and can leave directly. The robotic arm will automatically complete a series of operations such as opening the charging port, docking the gun, charging, pulling the gun, and closing the cover. There is no need for personnel to get out of the car throughout the process. Relying on visual recognition and force feedback control technology, this robotic arm can independently position the charging port. At the same time, it is compatible with various local charging interface specifications, adapts to energy supplementation standards in different overseas regions, and clears up interface adaptation barriers for overseas landing. The entire site is an integrated optical storage and charging solution. It relies on photovoltaic panels to collect energy, and is equipped with an energy storage cabinet to buffer power supply. The charging power displayed on site can reach 1000 kW. It works with a second-generation blade battery to achieve fast charging in 5 minutes and a full charge in 9 minutes. Also unveiled at the same time is the “one-click parking charge” function. The vehicle can independently drive into the charging space, connect the robotic arm to automatically charge, and integrate automatic parking and automatic energy charging into a continuous process. In a high-temperature desert environment such as the UAE, this function can prevent car owners from waiting outdoors and enhance the energy replenishment experience and safety. In fact, BYD has been developing automatic charging robots for several years. The early plan was mainly aimed at automatic charging of AGV equipment, and then gradually expanded to the ordinary passenger car parking lot scenario. Relevant patents previously disclosed also show that this robot can also expand more capabilities. It can read vehicle power and tire pressure information, identify charging ports and tire valves, can also refill tires after charging, and can be used without modifying the vehicle, leaving room for future all-in-one automatic services.
