The paper discusses technical issues related to autonomous recharging of mobile robots. In doing so, the paper focuses on robots with small to medium energy-consumption, i.e., robots powered by NiCd or NiMH-cells. A concrete set-up with autonomous robotic vehicles and their charging mechanism is presented. Several potential methods for controlling the actual charging are discussed. Pitfalls in ...

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the hydrogeology of the Jalakandapuram sub – basin, groundwater potential and quality of groundwater for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. Jalakandapuram ( Latitudes 11° 35‟30‟‟N to 11°46‟25‟‟N and Longitudes 77°48‟30‟‟ E to 78°2‟E) Subbasin is one among the four subbasins of the Sarabanga minor basins which comes under the...

Young’s Branch (YB), located on a portion of the Wayne National Forest in Lawrence County, is located on bedrocks belonging to the Allegheny group. By contrast, Bluegrass Ridge (BR), the other study area in Lawrence County, is underlain by sedimentary strata of the Connemaugh group. The bedrock complex includes a combination of sandstones, sandy shales (or siltstones), and clay shales (Denton e...

Assessing the Plant Communities Changes by Effects of Vegetation Type, Physiography and Soil in Central Zagros Forest

In this paper we present the design of a rechargeable battery storage device for use in an all-electric ship. The purpose of this device is to provide power of predictable quality to selected equipment. In addition a recharging unit is proposed for recharging the battery from the ship’s electric bus.
