About WiBotic
WiBotic develops autonomous charging hardware and fleet energy-management software for robots, drones and remote devices.
Its system identifies each machine and negotiates charging across batteries with different chemistries, voltages and rates, allowing multiple robots to use multiple wireless stations. Operators can monitor battery health and expose charging data through an API, reducing the need for manual plug-in and contact-based docks in unattended mobile, aerial and space applications.
