Automated plugging with digital twin and image processing
In this research project with the company KEBA, a robot was programmed so that it can automatically plug in the charging cable of an electric car.
As soon as the loading port is visible in the camera’s field of vision, a photo is taken and the exact position of the port and the required path for the robot are calculated.
The robot then automatically moves the plug into the charging port.
