摘要: An automated charging system for an electric vehicle is disclosed that includes a plug with a built-in camera assembly. The camera assembly captures images of a charging port of the electric vehicle, which are processed by one or more processors to estimate the location of the charging port relative to the plug. A control system generates signals for one or more actuators to move the plug relative to the charging port, thereby inserting the plug into the charging port to connect a power supply to the electric vehicle. The images may be processed via an image recognition algorithm and/or one or more machine learning algorithms. In an embodiment, the images are processed by a neural network to estimate the location of the charging port relative to the plug. The plug can also include a tapered structure to make fine adjustments to the position or orientation of the plug during connection.

摘要: The invention relates to a method of displaying ego-vehicle surroundings within an ego-vehicle. The method includes continuously capturing the ego-vehicle surroundings by at least one onboard camera to be stored in at least one camera data set. It further includes detecting, within the captured ego-vehicle surroundings, an electrical charging base located in the ground or near the ground. Further, it includes obtaining ego-vehicle motion information, and generating, if a part of the ego-vehicle causes a blind spot to the electrical charging base by obscuring a field-of-view of the ego-vehicle camera, a synthetic view to replace the blind spot in a display, the synthetic view being generated based on at least one previous view of the captured ego-vehicle surroundings stored in the camera data set and being motion-compensated based on the ego-vehicle motion information.

摘要: A vehicle recharging system recharges a partially depleted battery of a moving electric vehicle. The system includes a dispatch server receiving a route from the electric vehicle as well as first and second segments along the route where the electric vehicle is to be recharged first and second times. First and second unmanned autonomous recharging vehicles (UARV's) receive from the dispatch server first and second rendezvous locations along the first and second segments of the route. The dispatch server determines an adjusted second rendezvous location for the second UARV in response to determining that the first UARV is delayed and determines if the second UARV still has sufficient range to recharge the electric vehicle when commencing at the adjusted second rendezvous location. The dispatch server transmits the adjusted second rendezvous location to the second UARV to intercept the electric vehicle at the adjusted second rendezvous location.

摘要: In a multi-part refueling device for refueling an electric drive battery or a fluid tank of a movable vehicle, simplified, reproducible refueling is to be achieved. The object is achieved in that the vehicle-side coupling device carried on the vehicle has connecting means designed as at least one charging coil, charging contacts or as a loading nozzle and also has a manipulator arm for descending, displacing and lowering the contact plate in a center of the stationary ground coupling device, wherein the manipulator arm comprises an upper arm segment pivotally and rotatably mounted on the vehicle side, a joint, a lower arm segment and a further joint for mounting the contact plate and is automatically controlled by the computer and control unit.
