Wireless charging is becoming an increasingly popular solution for powering devices due to its convenience, reduced physical wear and tear, and potential for automation by embedded systems. In this project, we aim to develop a wireless charger for small robotic vehicles that utilizes an underbody charging pad based on resonant inductive coupling, which will be fully or at least partially hidden. Unlike current lateral plug-in or near-contact solutions, our design will allow small vehicle robots to charge by simply parking above the pad. Additionally, the system will include a real-time diagnostic display that shows voltage, current, power efficiency, and coil temperature, providing users with diagnostic insight without needing a mobile app, which tends to be wifi dependent.
