Powercast: Wireless power for robots and devices
  • 1 Comment

Powercast exhibited their power transmission technologies by “shooting” LEDs with energy and making them light up. These guys make the CES rounds so we’ve seen them before but their plan here is to embed their technology into wireless robots and simply send the power along with the control commands as the robots traverse scary terrain.

So far they can replace a set of 4 AAA batteries, depending on the situation and implementation.

  • I’ve thought about trying to come up with a way of sending power through air.
    So, in this method, does the receiver have to be stationary?
    And also, what is the range that power can be delivered?
