Ground-based mobility vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs) and robots face challenges such as long charging times and the weight and volume of their on-board batteries.In-motion power charging is expected to solve these problems.Wireless power transfer during driving enables continuous driving and long-distance travel, reduces the amount of time spent inactive, such as charging time, and eliminates the need to carry a battery, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and costs.
In this study, we have investigated the application of optical wireless power transfer (OWPT) to a running small ground vehicle using a small model .In this paper, we report a numerical analysis and experiments of continuous running by OWPT on a course that includes a section where the light beam is not irradiated.
