Abstract: A robot includes: an arm; a shaft supported at a tip of the arm so as to be movable in a direction of a predetermined axis; a power transmitting unit fixed to the arm and connected to a power supply; and a power receiving unit and a battery that are fixed to the shaft. In a state in which the shaft is positioned at a predetermined position in the direction of the axis, the power receiving unit is close to the power transmitting unit to wirelessly receive power transmitted from the power transmitting unit, and the battery stores the power received by the power receiving unit and uses the power as a power source of a device attached to the shaft.

Abstract: In an implementation, a robotic system includes a robot, a power source exchange station, and a controller. A method of operation of the robotic system includes identifying by the controller a low-power condition of the robot, and, in response to the identifying of a low-power condition, causing by the controller the robot and the power source exchange station to exchange a first primary electrical power source from the robot for a second primary electrical power source from the power source exchange station. The first and the second primary electrical power source may be a first and a second primary battery, respectively. The robotic system may engage a secondary power source operable to maintain a power supply to the robot during the exchange. The secondary power source may be a secondary battery on-board the robot.

Abstract: A robotic device includes a robot arm. A fluid-powered tool is located on the robot arm. A hose supplies a pressurized working fluid to the fluid-powered tool. A fluid motor is coupled to an electric generator to drive the electric generator. An actuator selectively supplies the pressurized working fluid to the fluid motor. A battery is operatively connected to receive electrical energy from the electric generator. A controller is powered by the battery and is operatively connected to the actuator to control operation of the fluid motor and charging of the battery by the electric generator.
