๐ค Great news for anyone afraid that robots might one day get tired and shut down: now they can even change their own batteries.
Chinese engineers have taken autonomy to a new level: robots have learned to remove and install batteries by themselves, without any human assistance.
What happened?
One of China’s leading robotics companies (most often mentioned is Fourier Intelligence) unveiled a robot capable of replacing its own battery. It drives up to a special station and performs the “operation” without any external help.
Itโs like a Formula 1 pit stop, only instead of a four-person crew – itโs just one robot and a battery swap station.
How does it work?
- The robot detects that the battery is running low.
- It drives itself to the nearest charging or swap station.
- A robotic system removes the depleted battery.
- A fresh battery is installed – and off it goes!
Why is this important?
- Non-stop operation: these robots can work almost 24/7.
- Autonomy in logistics and production: ideal for warehouses, factories, airports.
- Fewer staff required: no need for humans to recharge or service them.
๐ This is another step toward a fully autonomous robotic economy, where machines maintain themselves without human intervention. A new chapter is beginning – in industry, logistics, and soon enough, in public transport or even home services.
