Demo Abstract: FreeBot, a Battery-Free Swarm Robotics Platform

Résumé

A growing range of networked embedded devices are moving away from batteries and towards super-capacitor charge storage. How- ever, mobile robots remain largely dependent upon batteries with slow recharge cycles and limited lifetimes. In this demonstration paper, we introduce a novel battery-free platform for swarm ro- botics which features: 24 minutes of operation running at its top speed of 1.24 km/h, a carrying capacity of over 2.5kg, full recharge cycles of under 12 seconds and rapid peer-to-peer charge transfer or trophallaxis in the field. This is supported by an nRF52840 Cortex- M4F equipped with BLE/ANT/802.15.4 transceiver. Notably, while the autonomy of FreeBots is limited compared to battery-powered robots, their operational vs charging duty-cycle is significantly higher at over 99%.
